I was so excited to see her play. To have the opportunity to coach a player like that and to get to know her as a person is fantastic.
She beat me pretty good. That was the first time I saw her with a basketball in her hands. I quickly learned how well she could shoot the ball.
For a 6-2 kid to have the range that she has is unique. Her work effort is really high, there is no such thing as just good enough for her.
It is almost like one of those storybook type things. A kid from a town you've never heard of proves that no matter where you come from, if you work hard, you can make your dreams come true.
