Please post a small recap of last season with something like a big game you had, something about a certain game, something from a bus ride to or from the game, or something that sticks out from a practice.

Last season was memorable because I think everyone doubted us, but the boys in that locker room believed we could be great! Super memorable Win was by 11 to Ottawa Glandorf (state final four appearance 4 years in a row) in game 2!

How long have you played basketball, and who, or what, got you started?

I’ve played since I was born. Always played up and challenged myself! My dad is a huge basketball guy and a historic coach on the girls' side at Indian Lake back in the day, and he always motivated me to work to make him proud!

Which position do you feel you are better at, point or shooting guard?

I'm better at this point. I can control the game more and impact it in many more ways.

Of those two positions, which one do you feel is the hardest to play? Explain

Pg, I like being involved; it allows me to impact the game in so many ways and make more winning plays!

What has been your biggest moment as a basketball player?

When I was going into 7th grade, I started taking it seriously. I’d work out before school multiple times a week and started doing athletic and strength training to prepare to play as a freshman on varsity.

What is the one thing you would like to do in a game that you have not had a chance to do so far?

Dunk, or record a triple-double!

What is the toughest part of an Indian Lake basketball practice?

Raising the standard every day for what it means to be a part of the program. Then having intention in everything we do, even if we play a team that is bad, it's more about playing to our standard and preparing for goals we want to achieve later in the season.

Who is the toughest player to go against during practice?

Currently, probably Brodey; he and I always just compete at a super high level. In the past my guy Caiden Nicol

Who is the best player that you have faced in a game, along with the thing that made them so good?

Vaughn Carvala (IU commit) is just impossible to guard with his insane athleticism!

Which road gym is the toughest to play in, along with the things that make it so tough?

Jackson Center, North Union, and Urbana. Always have a great atmosphere and are passionate about supporting their school.

How often are you able to watch game film on your own?

Every day

How much, if at all, do the fans and cheerleaders affect your game?

The fans affect it a lot; we feed off the energy they bring. When an away crowd is into it, we love it; we always embrace that underdog mentality.

Should there be a shot clock in high school basketball?

Yes

What are you doing? Outside of sports for fun?

I read my Bible a lot and golf when it is warm out.

What is your favorite type of music?

Country

Who are your role models?

Jesus and my dad.
