Before she began to play basketball, she rode horses on a competitive level. Around the age of eight years old, Hannah first picked up a basketball and since that day she never put the ball down. Hannah enjoyed basketball so much that she stopped riding horses on a competitive level and switched that competitiveness to only focus on playing basketball. The MVP loves her ability to make nice, sleek and good passes. Hannah especially takes pride in the performing the "no-look" pass since it is flashy loves the move even more when her teammate helps her in getting the assist. Hannah's favorite go to move is the step back 3-point shot. Since Hannah was a kid, she always dreamed of playing in the state championship game. Up until the year Muldrow made it to the state championship game, the team got hungrier and hungrier to make it to state. During Hannah's senior year, she finally got the chance to reach her dream due to the team goals her high school team set out. Her most memorable moment in high school was during her freshman year. The MVP remembers a game where she only had 4 points in game regulation. The next 20 points all came in the 3 overtimes where she scored 14 free throws in the stretch. Her team ended up winning the game and the all-stater finished with a total of 24 points. Whenever Hannah is not playing basketball, she enjoys hanging out with family for quality time and going on trips to the lake. Her future plans are to attend the University of Arkansas Fort Smith on full ride. After college, she would like to pursue playing professional basketball overseas. Afterward, pursuing coaching or being heavily involved in basketball. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
