Emery loves basketball, softball and volleyball. She is very competitive and is a real team player! She has the "Never give Up" attitude!
Thank you for generously supporting Emery in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
I think for Emery, her competitive nature and her tremendous gumption continue to make herself better at her sports are the most important pieces of the puzzle in nature.
In total transparency, I am her grandmother. . .grandmothers always think their grandchildren are the best!! However, Emery is the best as she has been one of the main reasons that her basketball and softball teams have excelled at their small school. Emery has many family members that root her on every single game. However, her Father, with tough love, is her idol and the light of her life. He is her coach as well.
The moments in her athletic journey that have made me the proudest, probably include the District Hoop Shoot which she won in 2025, making 25 out of 30 free throws. Her hard work and dedication to her sports and her teammates make her an all around team player. Emery makes me proud every single day.
