Clara Dempsey

My name is Clara Dempsey. I am a 2026 5-foot-7 point guard from Clinton Community H.S. (IL). My cumulative GPA is 4.0. I want to study Pre-Medicine, with my focal point being nutrition and health science. I am a devoted worker who puts my teammates above myself by lifting them up and encouraging them. I was named All-Conference and All-Area each of the last three years and All-State Special Mention during my junior year (13.7 points/game, 3.5 assists/game, 3.3 rebounds/game, 1.9 steals/game).   Practice is one of my favorite things. I love working on fundamentals daily. I get in the gym anytime I can to get shots up. I watch film religiously, not only of my games, but opponents and even players I look up to. I put the student in student-athlete. I study and devote equal energy to academics and sports. I have maintained my 4.0 average while taking advanced and AP classes.   While being an elite student-athlete, my time involves countless other blessings. I’ve been able to train, coach and lead youth camps. I am currently acting as an assistant coach for my junior high basketball program. I also have multiple girls with whom I reiterate fundamentals, shooting, etc. Outside of basketball, I am involved in my community and school through a student bible study, nursery worker at church, junior class president and volunteering at various events throughout the school year.   Thank you for taking your time to learn a little more about the kind of person I am and what I bring to the table. I hope to hear from you soon!
