It is very possible that you will still have a growth spurt. Look at Charles Barkley. He was short in high school and then had a growth spurt and went on to play in the NBA.

Have yourself examined by an endocrinologist for a possible growth outlook. Genetics, diet and other modalities will be discussed.
