I think what London loves most about basketball is the sense of belonging. Getting out there and playing hard every game and knowing your part of a team/sport that has your best interest in mind makes a huge impact.
London is inspired by her Father which lashed basketball through high school and college. London is also inspired by her fellow team mates that have made so much progress and of course her favorite player Juju Watkins!
In march 2025 we played our final game, it was for the area championship. We had played this team many times throughout the season and beat them each time. This time we lost. It was in this moment that I truly seen how passionate London was about basketball. She cried like a baby, and although I was sad for her I was more proud to see that the sport meant so much to her. Since that loss, she has grown so much. It was definitely a teachable experience!
