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

Brooklyn Ray is inspired by her teammates she strives to be a good team player and is always giving high fives and recognition to her teammates. I also hope that Ray Allen inspires Brooklyn, I gave her this middle name because he is my favorite player growing up. Brooklyn is also a huge Larry Bird fan and wears his number.


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

Brooklyn Ray had a steal and game winning layup one game and I was just so happy for her because she was so very happy! I love to see her show her teammates support, she cares about their success and I love this detail about Brooklyn.
