Emma Emnett

Portsmouth Clay High School

Point guard, sometimes I play the 4 spot in the post in man-to-man defense.

2027

5’4, 120

Awards won or earned: Freshman year, 1st team all-league, 2nd team all-district, Honorable Mention all-state.

How long have you played basketball?

7 years now!

What or who got you started playing basketball?

My family, my dad, and Papaw both played, so they got me into it as well!

What is the best part of being the point guard?

The trust my teammates have in me. No matter what, they look to me to know what to do. This is definitely a huge responsibility, but it makes me a better player.

What is the toughest part of being the point guard?

Making sure my mind is in the game, and I know what is going on at all times. Not only am I responsible for myself, but I have to make sure every one of our players is in the right spot at all times.

What are your personal goals for the 2024-2025 season?

To better myself as an all-around player. Last year, I mainly drove the ball and scored off of layups. This year, I’ve started to be more comfortable shooting the 3-ball and shooting mid-range jumpers.

What goals have you set for your team?

We are very young this year; preparing ourselves for the future is a big goal we have set. Building our offense and learning how to play together is something we’ve worked very hard at. My main goal for us this year was to learn or play together.

What has been your biggest moment on the court?

Passing of the game-winning shot to my teammate against Oak Hill. Everyone collapsed on me because they thought I would take the last shot.

What has been your lowest moment as a basketball player?

Learning to be confident in myself and trust the work I’ve put in.

Who has been the best player you have faced in a game, along with the team she played on?

Morgan Lyons from South Gallia, she could shoot, drive, and play defense. Along with being long and hard to shoot over.

Who is the best team that you have faced, along with what made them so good?

South Gallia, all 5 players on the floor were major threats. So we had to play defense very, very well. They were also very tall and rebounded well, which was another struggle for us.

What makes you a good teammate?

Supporting my teammates and them being able to trust me.

What do you feel is the strongest part of your game?

Being able to adapt to the game. If I’m not shooting from outside well, I can drive and get to the free-throw line. If I can’t do that, I can make defensive plays to help our team.

What is your favorite home-cooked meal?

My mom’s pancakes and bacon.

What is your favorite class or subject?

I live on a farm and show livestock, so agriculture class is my favorite!

Who is your favorite athlete?

Cade Stover, he played tight end at Ohio State. He is my favorite because he is from a farm in Ohio and raised cattle. He made it big and is now in the NFL.

Semi Pro: Columbus Fire 8 Port City Spartans 0 (Game called in the third because of fighting)

Image
  Yesterday I drove to Portsmouth and met up with my friend Bill Norman after dinner at The Portsmouth Brewing Company before driving over to Spartan Stadium to watch the semi-pro football game and watch the Port City Spartans host the Columbus Fire. I have been to over 1,500 football games, or close to that amount, and I can say none of them prepared me for what I ended up seeing. The stadium had one set of lights that did not work at all that I had seen before (Jackson State University). One pole had a light missing, and another pole had one single light that did not work at all on the visitor's side, making the field dark. I saw a fan on the Spartans side of the field standing with the players vaping, and I saw a player setting on the bench for most of the game also vaping. The game itself was stopped once when the refs walked off the field for what one player on the Spartans said was because a Columbus player said something about going after the ref with a gun. Then a fight bro...

Two times first team all MSL, two times first team all district, two times honorable mention all Ohio What were the high and low points of the 2023 season? I’d say a high point would be doubling our wins from the 2022 season. Some low points would be losing three close games that would’ve given us a higher seed in tournament play and not being able to win a playoff game. What are your personal goals for the 2024 season? 1,500 rushing yards and 1,000 passing yards, 25 rushing touchdowns, and 15 passing touchdowns. How long have you played football, along with the reasons you continue to play? I have been playing football for 11 years. Football clicked as soon as I put the pads on; there’s something about it that I can’t get enough of. I’d say the reason I continue to play is my love for the game. Who or what got you interested in playing footb...
