​​​     ♯INSPIRATION .  ›

‘ afternoon everybody. for those of you who don’t know me, i’m 𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐀𝐃 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒 and i’m a junior here at trinity hills, as well as a basketball player and sports major. when it comes to what inspires me today (?) i’d have to say my childhood is my number one inspiration — all my life I’ve been striving to make myself better and pushing myself to beat the system, and it’s a full time commitment. to be the best, you have to work your hardest, giving up isn’t an option. even when you feel like you’ve reached your limits or exhausted your resources — that’s just more fuel to keep going. looking back on where I came from and what I went through, and seeing where I am today, really gives me the motivation to uplift kids & teens like myself, who grew up in a crooked system or in neighborhoods that don’t set kids up to succeed. i want to inspire them to keep going and teach them that quitting is never an option like my adoptive parents instilled in me. my parents also taught me that in order to succeed you have to believe that you can, and also put in the work behind your goals. dreams will only go so far without putting in the actual effort. they helped me realize it’s not about where you come from or how you start, but how you finish and where you end up. they also showed me that it takes a village to help kids and teens succeed. which is why i’ve devoted time to support the youth and provide them academic resources as well as athletic resources by volunteering at youth centers around trinity hills, and back home on virginia. with my winnings, i plan to contribute to the work that the concerned black men organization has done back home around my city, and expand their work to cities like trinity hills. cbm is a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing positive male role models and mentors to youth, primarily black youth. thank you for your time. ’

standing at 6′ 3″, 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐀𝐃 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒 highlight show continued with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from half-court to finish the first half of the game against long beach university bears. with 2.1 seconds left, evans took the inbound pass and made a 48-foot shot just behind the half-court line as the buzzer sounded. it was shaad’s fifth 3-pointer of the first half, with a 19-point start by the 𝐏𝐎𝐈𝐍𝐓 𝐆𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐃. the shot also cut the titan's halftime deficit to 54-47. midway through the ( 3rd ) quarter against the bears, rashaad was injured on a play where his right knee was grabbed then stepped on by an opposing player while going up for a layup. evans was seen limping off the court with the help of his teammates, and didn’t return to the game due to being injured, as well as being ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct, technical fouls, and outburst toward the opposing player and referees — all following his injury. thu’s coach alluded 𝐋𝐁𝐂𝐔’s guard rj rhoden was the culprit regarding 𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐒 injury. the titian’s coach told reporters, “ 𝐑𝐇𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐍 ( #0 ) actually grabbed his knee and yanked it, then proceeded to step on it once evans was on the floor, which triggered whatever happened. we just watched the replay. you saw it yourself. ”      —     the coach closed the brief interview by stating evans will be evaluated after the game. the athlete will continue to sit out the rest of the game and depending on the severity of his knee injury, he will very likely miss the rest of this series.

“ Aight’ so, my typical day on campus really isn’t anything too crazy or out the ordinary. I live in the 𝐏𝐒𝐈 𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐀 𝐏𝐇𝐈 house wit’ some of my brothers, and that’s usually where you’ll find me. When I wake up, I handle my morning rituals and normally try to grab something for breakfast and some snacks to hold me over. Today we’re eating a bacon, egg, and cheese... of course, can’t forget the OJ, extra pulp (!) I try to get lunch in during the free time I have away from class. Depending on how I’m feeling lunch could range from protein shakes to shake shack, or something quick from the cafe. I spend the last half of my weekdays in the gym, practicing drills and getting in a few sessions.  I’m a fitness center assistant so I pretty much live in this bitch. I have some peers I do weight training with and a few freshman athletes I condition with one on one, mainly during the summer. When I’m not doing anything related to athletics, bsu club, or studying — you’ll catch me spending a good chunk of my time streaming on Twitch or chillin’ with my close friends in the Gaming Central club.”

“if i win i would continue to dedicate my time and attention to the younger generation. providing them with the knowledge, wisdom, and skill it takes to keep moving forward & being the best. make sure they know it’s people who wanna advocate for ‘em, and always rootin’ for ‘em. which is why the non-profit foundation i’m here to support is the cbm. they’ve made a positive influence on todays youth and my youth by providing academic and athletic recourses. they live by their mission.”

acknowledging his teammates motivational speech, 𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐀𝐃 allowed the corners of his lips to curl into a smile as he clapped his hands together. once a moment of silence filled the room, he took it upon himself to also issue a few words of encouragement for the team. “now how we supposed to top that G’ ? ” he spoke through a series of laughter, nudging the tall figure standing to his left. “like G’ said, it’s been a minute since we’ve all been here & despite all the odds against us — we’re back and better, baby ! ” 𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐀𝐃 announced enthusiastically with his voice raised, making sure his energy matched the cheering sounds coming from the other side of their locker room doors. “no matter how hard we work people will find something negative to throw at us tomorrow. we can’t let that shit phase us. ” he added, keeping eye contact with the familiar faces that were gathered around. “ regardless of the scoreboard, we always gon’ be the real winning team ‘cause we put in all the time, the effort, created a solid foundation of brothers, put in all the hard work & we know that shit is going to pay off ! let’s get out there and support the people who came to support us ! ” @trinityedu
