Hill thought it would be a one-time appearance, but he soon realized it was something he should invest his time into.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rest is history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attending Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Alabama, Hill was named Birmingham\u2019s Most Outstanding Player during his senior year, warding off the football-heavy stereotype Alabama has. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The accolade was one of many feats that drew the interest of the Sharks\u2019 coaching staff, especially assistant coach Ward Griffith.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c[Elijah\u2019s AAU coach] contacted me and gave me a list of players,\u201d Griffith said. \u201cThe only one that stood out to me was Elijah.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Griffith received interest from Division I schools before signing with Miami Dade College, but the 6-foot-2-inch guard knew he had to take the junior college route. His family lived in Miami before he was born, so he decided to give it a shot by himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a freshman, Hill scored a career-high 33 points against Palm Beach State. But he sees room for improvement after averaging 12.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.8 assists<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">per game last year. He made that a focal point this offseason.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hard work paid off. Hill is second on the team in scoring this year with a 17.3 average and also contributes 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen the team has bad energy, he picks it up and gives us a spark,\u201d said freshman guard\/forward William Jarrell Jr. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharks\u2019 head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/mens-basketball-team-selects-new-head-coach\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Kevin Ledoux<\/span><\/a> describes Hill as a competitive player who is well-liked by his teammates and is an extension of the coaching staff. He said Hill welcomes in new recruits with his personable character while showing them the ins and outs of Miami Dade College basketball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outside of basketball, Hill is a criminal justice and sociology major who enjoys the South Beach lifestyle and reading in his spare time. He hopes to pursue a career as a criminal profiler after his basketball career is done. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until then, Hill would like to graduate with his associate\u2019s degree and play Division I basketball at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiu.edu\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Florida International University<\/span><\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fau.edu\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Florida Atlantic University<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI don\u2019t see him just being a regular guy, I see him being the supervisor or the boss,\u201d Griffith said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Sharks\u2019 next game will be at home versus South Georgia Technical College at the Theodore R.
