ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
10 Questions
with Quinn Pemberton
The Loyola senior boys basketball player
recently helped lead the Ramblers to
their third consecutive regional title.
Do you have any superstitions
before, during or after a game?
Now that we’re in the playoffs, I need
to eat Corner Bakery’s linguine with
meatballs with no Parmesan cheese. It
just gives me a good feeling. When I get
off the bus, I need to listen to the same
songs and then during warmups, my last
shot has to be a make. I’ll keep shooting
until I make it.

What’s one item on your bucket
list?
I haven’t gotten to travel much outside
the country, so traveling to Europe, maybe
Italy, would be fun.
What’s one thing people don’t
know about you?
I had bad knee problems my freshman
year so I needed to have two knee surgeries.
What’s the best part about being a
Loyola athlete?
Coach Livatino does a great job of connecting
us all together. I feel really close
with last year’s seniors and this year’s are
some of my best friends.
If you could play another sport,
what would you play and why?
Probably football. I played football until
I had my knee injuries. I loved it but
decided to choose basketball my freshman
year.
What’s the hardest part about
basketball?
Being consistent, playing the same way
every time.
What’s been your favorite moment
at Loyola?

Winning the regional title last Friday.
Nobody expected us to win that game, except
for us, and we came in knowing what
we had to do to win.
What’s the best part about
basketball?
Playing with my brothers on the court.
Being able to cherish those moments with
them.
If you could have a superpower,
what would it be and why?
To be able to be invisible.
If you won the lottery, what would
you do with the money?
I’d help out all the people that have supported
me so far
