The Women's Basketball

Featuring our Department of Athletic and Sports

Being a part of the basketball team, this year has been a real blessing. We get the opportunity to go out of state for games where we enjoy time together as a team. For example, we went to Arkansas and Oklahoma for a couple games and got to stay at a hotel. I like traveling with the team because there's never a dull moment with them and we can always have fun around each other. Practice is a time for growth as a team, but also as individual players. After most practices we have a small worship thought and a prayer. It's always nice to have that type of vibe in a team.

As an incoming freshman it can be hard to be part of something. I was kind of nervous coming in but, the girls on the team have made me feel loved and appreciated. And the coaches are always there to help out and give me advice for my game and my life. This season has taught me to be resilient, you always have to keep your head up no matter the circumstance. Being on the team has strengthened my trust in others, teamwork, and leadership skills. Come support us this Thursday for our last game of the season!
