My family has always been my biggest supporters so it's great to get this chance. This is a hometown team and a chance for me to give back.

Definitely. I feel very strongly about this team. This team's a lot more organized than the team I was playing for last year.

Battle Creek had last year what I think we have right now, camaraderie and a lot of pieces. We've got 10 or 12 guys who can start on any night.

I just want to do whatever this team needs me to. Everyone on this team is eager to learn and play together. My main goal is still to play in the NBA. That's my dream.

He was always one of my biggest supporters. My junior year, I was the only girl on the track team and so he ended up driving me to all the meets.

There's someone who's going to be very motivated to do well against his hometown team.
