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

He gets to be apart of something more than basketball. A family. He uses his athletic abilities to dominate on both ends of the court. He gets to build everlasting relationships with his team and others.


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

My mom. She gives me words of encouragement every game and she tells me to keep pushing even when it seems hard. She always says God gotchu and with Him I am in good hands. She believes in me even when I don’t believe in myself. She tells me that all the time.


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

When I was trending on Instagram. A guy ripped me in one of our games and scored. When we played them again I did a crossover at half court and he fell and I did a pull up three and made it. The crowd went crazy. Next thing I knew it was trending on instagram. I didn’t even know until my team and my mom told me.
