Senior Heroes

Earlier in the week, we looked at some of the top senior leaders. That article can be found here: <a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/2020/11/senior-leaders/">Senior Leaders</a> In times like these, while we are facing a brutal pandemic, things beyond basketball become an even more important part of the game. So just as we did in the Senior Leaders article, we will now look at a select group of Senior Heroes. These are young ladies that, when their senior year and hopefully the pandemic, are in the rear view mirror, they will be considered heroes. Heroes to their coaches, the next generation, their community, and in their school. This group of young ladies is miraculous in many ways. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="4142" first="Jillian" last="Brown"] (CG, East Grand Rapids)</strong> Next year, Brown will be attending one of the top universities in the country and playing basketball at it’s highest level. Is there any better way for her to be a hero? She will be an idol at East Grand Rapids, both athletically and academically. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138322" first="Genevieve" last="Decker"] (SF, Anchor Bay)</strong> Decker has a bright future ahead of herself, both on and off the basketball court.

Her hard work and grit have helped her star this summer and become an elite wing in the senior class. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138367" first="Olivia" last="Eubank"] (CG, Mattawan)</strong> If you want the next generation to know how to conduct themselves around the game of basketball, look no further for your hero. She’s all business at all times when it comes to the game. Plus, Eubank gets rave reviews as a teammate. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138325" first="Ciara" last="Hardy"] (CG, Romulus)</strong> Hardy has put in the work necessary to become a great basketball player, and because of that, she will be admired for years. On top of that, she’s a humble person that represents a team and program well. Quite simply, Hardy is as classy as they come. <strong>Josalyn Norris (PG, Taylor)</strong> I know that I’ll never forget Josalyn Norris. I’ll use her name in motivational talk with players for years to come. She’s a shining example of how far a passion for something can take you. Her passion for basketball sure has brought her a long ways. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138383" first="Kayla" last="Rutledge"] (CG, Troy)</strong> Rutledge is a perfect candidate to be a hero. If you want to have younger players see a true team player, have them talk to Rutledge. She’s willing to sacrifice for the greater good, and not just in the game of basketball. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="138326" first="Shealyn" last="Tripp"] (SF, Michigan Center)</strong> Tripp is a role model for future generations. She is an outstanding student, athlete, and teammate. Tripp represents everything that high school athletics is supposed to be about.
