Interviews
1. What are your expectations for this year's team? That we go undefeated, win state again, and play to our best ability every game.
2. What's the best piece of advice from your coach? “Be disciplined”- Alendra Brown. It helps me remember to play my part such as don't jump to block shots, don't gamble, and to allow help.
3. Do you have a professional or collegiate player you look up to? Why?
I look up to Juju Watkins because she has a good play style which reminds me of my own. She's also a great player to watch which makes her such a great role model.
