Player Bio
About me
My name is AVA RUSH; I love basketball. My high school team is First Baptist of Charleston and run with Team Curry in the summer. Midway through my sophomore szn, I average 11.5 ppg, 8.4 Reb, 2.6 Defl, 1.4 A, 1.4 Blks, and 1.4 Steals. During my Team Curry szn, 2023, I was one of the top shot blockers of the Under Armour circuit, tying for 5th, averaging 2.0 blocks per game. I play strong defense!
What position(s) do you play? What do you view as your strengths?
I can play 2-5 but prefer the wing. Growing up, I was always the tallest, currently 6'2, and would be stuck at the post but I wanted to be a guard. I got a trainer and worked hard to earn a guard spot. I have a high motor, high bball IQ, and a leader on the court. I'm a strong rebounder and can handle the ball, shoot long-range, or drive to the cup. I'm constantly working to get better every day.
What type of school are you looking for?
It would be an honor to receive a scholarship and play basketball in college. I want to play where I can be an impact player for the team and bring home the ring! My goal is to play basketball as long as I am able. Playing after college would be amazing, if not, then I would like to be involved in sports at some level. At this point, I am considering Exercise Science as my educational goal.
What are your interests outside of Basketball?
Outside of playing basketball, practicing, or watching basketball. I love to be with my friends and family. I like to go to the beach and go surfing, play volleyball or anything in the sun. I love shopping and I am somewhat obsessed with shoes, specifically basketball shoes. Traveling and adventures with my family are a highlight. We went snorkeling in Puerto Rico, that was fun!
