High School Basketball Career

[edit]

Hassan Al-Faruqi Al-Sirhandi began his basketball journey with the Wildcats, where he wore #98. Seeking a more competitive environment, he later joined Virginia Elite Basketball, where he now plays as a guard wearing #2. Although he studied at Rock Ridge High School after transferring from Westfield High School, he did not play for the school’s basketball program due to its lack of competitiveness. Hassan has earned All-Region and All-District nominations and is known for his clutch performances, including multiple game-winning shots. His future in college basketball remains uncertain, but his dedication and skill continue to stand out. Originally playing for Coach Ken, he was the best free throw shooter around 95% FT, and always took team technical free-throws for his team. Skilled from deep and good passing abilities. Good rebounder and defender, although slightly undersized, still good vertical and can dunk from ally-oop as shown on his Instagram page. Mostly a 3 'n D player. Needs work on left hand, driving to the basket, and handles could be better.
