Have you ever thought about great b-ball players? Well Eden Norton is sure one of them! Eden is 11 years old, loves basketball, and dogs. “I’ve gotten really good over the 7 years that I have been playing.” says Eden Norton. She has played for both the school basketball team and the YMCA basketball team.
“I’ve played basketball for 7 years. Basketball is really fun.” says Eden Norton. She started playing basketball at only 4 years old. She also said, “It keeps me active. I love sports. One of the other sports that I love is golf, it is great. I play on the YMCA basketball team as well as school basketball. The reason why I first started playing basketball was because my mom told me to be active, so I started playing basketball. I absolutely don’t regret choosing basketball, I love it!”
She has played as a shooting guard before in the past, but this year on the 6th grade girls team she played as a point guard. Eden played on the A team for this year's season. Eden is great at basketball, from scoring points to bringing the ball down the court, she's good at it all!
Some things Eden says about her experience with playing basketball are, “ I’ve gotten good at three pointers, layups, reverse layups, in fact I actually made a bet with one of the basketball coaches that I couldn't make a reverse layup, well I did and now he still owes me a dollar. I have also gotten really good at dribbling. I make a lot of the shots I put up. It was not the greatest year in terms of winning games but we won two, so I am proud we won at least some.” To me it sounds like she is absolutely great at basketball. She is an amazing player and also an amazing person to have on your team. She is so helpful when it comes to basketball and is just all around a great person. She is very confident with the ball which makes scoring a lot easier in a game.
