Travel Ball Highlights/Summer Stats: Led team with seven home runs and had the second best batting average on the team.
Tell us about your travel team/organization and how you became involved with them? My team is Texas Express. I joined them (in) December of 2021. I got involved in the team when I tried out and impressed the coaches!
What do you bring to the team? I bring excitement and energy to the team; I couldn’t ask to play with anyone else!
What areas are you focusing on/trying to improve this fall? This fall, I’ll be working on improving on my batting.
Can you tell us about your experience at Alliance Nationals this summer? My experience at the Alliance Nationals this summer in Oklahoma was fun! I met Grace Lyons, signed my name on the board and hit a two-run home run.
Which player/team was your toughest opponent and why? The toughest team I’ve played (was) Impact Gold 2k9 because they have a good pitching staff.
What areas are you interested in future occupations and why? An occupation I’m interested in is computer science because I’m currently taking the class now and I’m learning how to code. Or a sports manager because I like traveling and supporting teams!
Who is your sports hero and why? Micheal Jordan because he’s accomplished so much in his life like the “Jordan” brand, winning six rings in the NBA and overcoming challenges to make him successful.
What’s the best hype song and why? The best hype song is “Jimmy Cooks” (by Drake feat. 21 Savage) because it starts off slow, then out of nowhere a beat drop and it just hits different.
What’s your favorite TV show to binge and why? “All American” because it’s so dramatic and you never know what will happen next.
