WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A KID? I don’t know.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL? Go to college at UCA to be a nurse.
OTHER THAN YOUR PARENTS, WHO’S HAD THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE? HOW? Probably my soccer coaches on my classic team, Donnie Bridges and Greg Hess, just to kind of keep pushing through when it’s hard times and stuff, just keep going.

POSITION: Point guard
WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE ON THE FLOOR? To handle the ball and make a difference.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SEASON SO FAR? I think we’ve done pretty well but I don’t think we’ve had our best game. I don’t think we’ve all had our best game. We’ve had games with one person having a good game or something but we haven’t had all of us have a good game.
WHEN THE TEAM’S PLAYING WELL, WHAT’S IT DOING? Shooting the ball well and getting steals, rotating on defense.
WHAT’S BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT TO THE SEASON SO FAR? Probably the Conway game because that could lead us to getting second which would give us a bye (at the State tournament).
WHAT’S IT GOING TO TAKE FOR THE TEAM TO BE SUCCESSFUL THE REST OF THE SEASON? To keep the motivation of being a team and working all together so then we can have that game where we’re all on.
TALK ABOUT YOUR GAME NOW; WHAT ARE YOU MOST CONFIDENT IN YOUR ABILITY TO DO? Drive.
WHAT DO YOU WORK HARDEST TO IMPROVE ON IN PRACTICE? Just to play hard.
WHEN YOU’RE THROUGH PLAYING BASKETBALL AT BRYANT HIGH SCHOOL, WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER MOST FONDLY ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE? My teammates.
