Sam Geschickter ’16 has always loved to shoot hoops.  At six years old, he would play in his driveway for hours, then race into his kitchen and scream, “1,000 shots!”

“He liked working on something until he got it just right,” said his mother, Michelle Sommer, during a recent event to celebrate Mr. Geschickter. “He has always been a super-hard worker.”

That hard work paid off on Monday, November 16, when Mr. Geschickter signed a national letter of intent to play with the Bentley University Falcons next year.

Mr. Geschickter’s work-ethic and passion for basketball has been a key to his success since he was a kid.   As soon as he was able, “he used to wake up at 5:00 a.m. and get himself to the YMCA to work out. Then he would come home, shower, and go to school,” Mrs. Sommer said.
