And so I would always get asked to, like, pepper in the backyard, and I don't know it was just always around my family and I played really

on, how was your experience playing in high school?

Speaker 2

00:29

It was great. I mean, I my high school team itself wasn't, like, the most amazing team, but I think that's where I learned, like, how important having a grading team is. Because that team wasn't the best team I've ever been on, but we went way further than like we were expected to, because we just had so much grit and we wanted it so bad. And then my club team was, we were, we were really good team. And it was, it was a lot of fun playing with those girls. And I mean, I had a few girls from Rockwood on this team with me. So who are those girls? Morgan was on my team. And then we had a girl my freshman, sophomore year, named daddy lane, and she's not here anymore. And same with Maddie sell, she was a year younger, but she was here too,

Speaker 2

Well, I came to camps here ever since I was, like, fifth grade, sixth grade, and I went to them like, all throughout. And I'm a pretty stubborn person, and I always decide I knew from a young age. I was like, I've gone to the camps here, and the coaches, like, really liked me. And obviously it was different coaches out then, but I liked it. It was close. My dad went here, and I don't know I just came since I was young, and it was just a dream of mine, and it was all I really had my focus on.
