What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

Ariana loves learning new skills she is amazing on the court. It is hard to miss her when she's playing a basketball game because she's always showing her love for basketball. Ariana not only plays basketball but she plays cross country and track. She is known for a wonderful triple double jump and if she was on varsity and seventh grade she would've qualified for semifinals


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Her mom is her hero her mom and her dad are very athletic individuals and support her the whole way they inspire her to do better. Her coaches also inspire her to do better Coach Sean Burton is a wonderful example


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

One moment and the athletic journey that makes me the proudest is them overcoming the winning attitude. And showing leadership skills on the court. For example Ariana plays multiple positions in basketball but if she does play point she will set up amazing place and we almost always set somebody up for a basket. She is always helping her teammates and cheering them on even if she's sitting on the bench for a break. Ariana has a charismatic attitude and as a great asset to any team that she plays
