Tell us about your travel team/organization and how you became involved with them?
I joined the Lady Dukes after my former coach, Steven Locke, retired. It was an easy decision to make in knowing that I would be challenged by Coach (James) Lamar and my teammates. This team is filled with high-caliber, high-intensity players who compete with each other every single practice and game, which makes every one of us better. Most importantly, this team is preparing me for when I enroll at (Georgia) in the fall.
Who is the team to beat in the 18U Division?
I feel that any team can beat you on any given day, especially at the level we play at. We do not take any team that we play for granted. Coach Lamar always expects us to be playing on Sunday for a championship, so if we took any opponent for granted, we could be the ones that end up going home early.
