Sport: Volleyball and basketball
Class: Senior
Age: 17
Claim to fame: Probably sports, and being an athlete.
Bet you didn't know: I was born in South Carolina.
Toughest opponent/why: In basketball, it is Mt. Healthy. But otherwise, it is myself, because a lot of times, people have a lot of high expectations so I get caught up in that instead of my team.
Favorite book: Christy Miller series.
Favorite movie: Despicable Me.
Favorite TV show: I don't really watch TV, but if I had to pick, it would be The Voice.
Favorite song: "Best Love Song" by T-Pain.
Favorite pro athlete/why: Tamika Catchings, plays for WNBA, because she has a lot of passion and had a hard past that she had to overcome.
Favorite smell: Food.
Favorite home cooked meal: Chicken and dumplings.
Game-day rituals: I always braid some of the girls' hair. As a team, we always pray before a game.
Person who would play me in a movie/why? Sandra Bullock because I like her as an actor.
Words I live by: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," which is a bible verse. It's one of our team mottos because it means you can overcome any obstacle as long as you have Christ on your side.

In 10 years I'll be: Hopefully out of college, in a relationship, and with a job.
Best thing about basketball: It would be gaining a relationship with your team. I think it is so cool, and basketball is such a hard sport, so you are with your team all of the time, so you have to build relationships and become best friends with them.
Worst thing about basketball: Team drama, because you always have to have team chemistry to be successful, and having to get over coaches and drama.
Vegetable I just won't eat: Brussels sprouts.
