Gabby Murphy

My name is Gabby Murphy, and I am a 2025 graduate at Marlboro Central High School in New York. Currently, I hold a 3.8 GPA and am taking all college and AP courses to help prepare me for higher education. Once attending college, my goal is to study either political science, criminal justice or psychology. Fun fact – I am the first person in my family to be interested in this, as the rest of my family has completely different jobs.   On the basketball court, I’ve achieved awards such as Poughkeepsie Journal First-Team All-Star, BCANY (Basketball Coaches Association of New York) Top 50 Award three years in a row, and MHAL All-Star three years in a row. As any athlete who wants to be successful, I try to work out as much as I can. My dad grew up playing this sport and it is our personal way of bonding! I do agility training and weightlifting along with working out with my dad when I can (between 5-7 days a week). This involves working on all aspects of my game, and if we don’t have time at night we go before school at 5 a.m. to make sure we get our work in. Our workouts can go anywhere from an hour to 2.5 depending on what else I’ve done that day.   In school, I am ranked 36th out of 150, and this year alone I’ve done over 20 hours of community service. I am part of my school’s National Honor Society as I am committed both in school and on the court. One thing that makes me unique is my personality. I am not a very loud person (in fact I’m mainly quiet and shy) but on the court I let go and allow the game to take over, making sure I am a good teammate and playing my hardest. Overall, I am a hardworking student-athlete who has goals and is willing to sacrifice things in order to achieve success in school and basketball.   Thank you coach for your time, and I hope to hear from you soon.
