High school career

Curry grew up in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and attended Fort Defiance High School as a youth. There, his high school basketball coach let him use his barn to shoot, and Curry spent hours each day working on his technique. During his time there, Curry won state championships in both basketball and baseball. He finished as the school’s all-time leading scorer, and was named to the 1982 McDonald's High School All-American team. Curry was drafted out of high school by the Texas Rangers in the 1982 MLB draft.
