School/year: Champion, senior
Statistics/accomplishments: Second-team all-Ohio, first-team district and first team Trumbull Athletic Conference. Champion shared the TAC title with Hubbard and made its first trip to state in 10 years in the Division III playoffs.
Positive influence: My mom. She always practiced with me in the back yard when I was younger. And other than always wondering if I had enough water, I could really count on her as a quick pick-me-up when I wasn't playing so great.
Best memory: When our team was state-bound and our community got together and gave us a sendoff at the high school. The police even escorted our bus all the way to the highway.
Surprised to learn: I play guitar.
