Q: How long have you been playing basketball?
A: I have been playing basketball since I was 6 but I really started to get into it when I was 10.
A: I want to go to either UCLA or Baylor because those are 2 of the top schools for women’s basketball
Q: Do you want to play basketball as a career? Or as a hobby?
A.I think of it as an opportunity to get a good education after high school and set me up for life even if I think of it as a hobby.
Q: Why do you like basketball?
A:I like basketball because it is competitive and fast paced and overall fun when you are playing with friends.
Q: What role do you play in the game?
A: I either play small-forward or point-guard it really depends where the team needs me
Q: What made you want to play?
A:For the first four years of me playing my dad forced me to, but when I turned 10 something just clicked and made me want to play. So I started practicing and I eventually became good and was playing with both boys and girls for the full time I was playing, but the summer before middle school I joined an all-girls basket-ball league. I scored at least 10 points a game and my highest point-scoring game was 27 points and that season made me love basketball.
