Get to know Shen basketball player, rising junior Miles Peterson
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. — Rising junior and Shen forward, Miles Peterson, loves everything about basketball. “I love how I can call my team family, and I love being in the gym with them day in and day out. I really enjoy just having the ball in my hands. It’s like when I’m playing, there’s nothing else to worry about. I really also love how it’s a fast-paced game that can switch directions really easily.”
After graduation, Miles is hoping to play Division I basketball, but in the meantime, he’s enjoying what school and the Capital Region has to offer. His favorite subject in school is Health, but outside of school he loves to spend time with his family and friends and staying active by lifting, fishing, and hiking.
But it’s not all about what’s happening on the court—he gives back to the community as well. Every year around Thanksgiving time, Miles and his family gather as much food as they can from nearby neighborhoods to bring to their local food shelter. “We often gather so much that the shelter has a hard time finding room for all of it!” he says.
