What is your favorite<br />
part of basketball?<br />
I love the competitive part<br />
of it, and the heart of the<br />
game.<br />
What’s the biggest<br />
challenge?<br />
Once you get to high<br />
school, it’s not like junior<br />
high. It’s way more competitive,<br />
and the girls get better,<br />
are stronger and taller, and<br />
you have to compete with<br />
that.<br />
What’s it like being a<br />
sophomore starter on<br />
varsity?<br />
It’s definitely a blessing<br />
to be on varsity. I just like it<br />
better because the competition<br />
is better, it’s a fasterpaced<br />
game. I just have to<br />
work hard in practice and<br />
show my worth in games<br />
that I deserve to be on the<br />
team.<br />
Who’s your favorite<br />
teammate to compete<br />
with?<br />
Me and Abi Baumgartner<br />
are always partners doing<br />
defensive drills because we<br />
really push each other. She’s<br />
a senior, so it always helps to<br />
have an older girl push me in<br />
practice.<br />
What’s the first thing<br />
you would buy if you<br />
won the lottery?<br />
I would probably buy a<br />
Jeep. If I want to go with<br />
a better car, I’d go with a<br />
Tesla.<br />
Do you have a pregame<br />
ritual?<br />
I just put my headphones<br />
in and listen to music and<br />
try to get in the zone for the<br />
game and think about how<br />
I’m going to play and the<br />
competition I’m about to<br />
play. I just shuffle my playlist<br />
with pump up songs.<br />
Nothing slow, just more of<br />
pump up songs to get ready<br />
to play.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
movie?<br />
My favorite movie is the<br />
“The Sandlot.” It’s just a<br />
movie that me and my whole<br />
family would watch together.<br />
It’s just funny, and it’s<br />
sports, of course.<br />

Who’s a basketball<br />
player you look up to?<br />
I really look up to my<br />
brother. He doesn’t really<br />
play anymore, but he always<br />
used to push me and was a<br />
great defensive player.<br />
What’s your favorite<br />
memory in basketball?<br />
Definitely my years with<br />
Xplosion. We just had fun<br />
and have hotels and stuff.<br />
We’d always have fun before<br />
games and get ready to<br />
play.<br />
Living or deceased,<br />
who’s someone you’d<br />
have dinner with?<br />
My grandma. She’s my<br />
biggest inspiration, and she<br />
would love to know I’m having<br />
this interview right now<br />
and just talk to her about it.<br />
