How can Belton get back to the playoffs this year?
“This team has the talent scattered throughout.
“We don’t have that one dominant player that we had last year, so we have to find new ways to score and new rotations.”
What is your role in accomplishing that goal?
“I feel like I have to focus on blocking, because that is something we are a little weaker in since we don’t have a lot of height.
“So, I just have to be more aggressive in the front row.”
How did you start playing volleyball?

What is your favorite food?

Where do you want to go to college and major in?
“My first choice is Baylor and then Texas A&M. I am not for sure yet what I want to major in, probably something like physical therapy.”
How did you get interested in physical therapy?
“I took anatomy last year and I really, really enjoyed it and I’d like to stay on that path.”
What is your favorite thing to do when not on the volleyball court?

“I really just like to do events with my youth group. This year the big thing was Backyard Bible Club.”
