Her name is Kenisha and plays in Shary, I just find it amazing how we get to play vs each other now that we’re older.

Q: What specific skills do you focus on during your training sessions?

A: Lately I’ve been focusing on my serve receive going straight to pocket, but other times squaring up to the ball so I won’t double.

A: My biggest supporter has been my dad, he always motivates me to want to be better for my next game without making me feel bad.

Q: What is your favorite part about being a student-athlete?

A: My favorite part about being a student-athlete is having friends and teachers complement you about how the team did the night before.

A: My favorite food is pasta.

Q: Dream college

A: My dream college is the University of Houston Law.
