For Laguna Creek High School senior Messiah Glass, a successful season means helping his team compete for a league championship and earn a playoff spot while preparing for his own future beyond high school.
The 6-foot Class of 2027 combo guard plays both point guard and shooting guard. Glass averaged seven points per game on the EHA circuit and made 11 three-pointers across 14 games last season. As he works toward playing college basketball, he is focused on improving and making the most of each opportunity.
“I know nothing is handed to you, so I try to stay focused, keep working, and take advantage of every opportunity,” Glass said.
His motivation comes from his love for basketball, his family and the people who support him. Being counted out gives him another reason to work harder, but the reputation he wants to build extends beyond scoring.
Glass wants his work ethic, character and performance to speak for him. He takes pride in respecting those around him and strives to set a positive example for his family and community.
That approach carries into the classroom. Glass has received academic scholarship opportunities from colleges and values education as an important part of his future. Alongside his goal of playing at the next level, he wants to earn a degree and prepare for a career beyond basketball.
For his final high school season, those ambitions come with a clear team priority: help Laguna Creek win and put itself in position to compete in the postseason.
