About AVA

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My playstyle is built around tough defense, versatility, & a high motor. I’m a three-level shooter who can score efficiently from anywhere on the court, while also being a strong rim protector. I embrace the challenge of guarding multiple positions and bringing relentless energy to both ends of the floor. My coach compares me to Chloe Kitts for my defensive tenacity and all-around impact. #wingman

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m very competitive at everything I do. It’s a blessing and a curse. I tend to be a bit shy at first, preferring to observe and take things in before I open up. But once I get to know someone, my more outgoing side comes out. I like to take on leadership roles and guide others, always with kindness and a genuine desire to help wherever I can. Also, people say I am funny!

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

National Honor Society, Pickle ball Club

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I volunteer at my church. I will help with Thanksgiving preperations for those in need, I am a camp leader for our summer camps, and random needs of the church where volunteers are needed.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

As an athlete, I face tough challenges—dealing with injuries, balancing school and sports, and handling the pressure to perform. Socially, it can be hard to fit in, deal with judgment, or find time for friends. But overcoming these tests builds my strength, resilience, and character. I used this to fuel me and put all my focus into my craft. I can say that I have become quite resilient.

What type of college are you looking for?

I am looking for a college where it feels like home. One that will help me to continue to develop my skills and push me but also provide a safe environment to ask for help or support when needed. A family environment where practice will be hard but all are supportive and fun on and off the court.

After narrowing down her collegiate decision to four schools, one of the state’s signature senior talents announced on social media she will sport the purple and gold of East Carolina when her high school career concludes after this season. Appalachian State, Marshall and Elon rounded out Rush’s quintet. Between this and transferring SCISA 4A championship game participant First Baptist back to the SCHSL realm with 5A Division 1 Wando, Rush has had a busy offseason. After averaging 12.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game for the Hurricanes, she hopes to bring even more success to the Warriors in her final season through the high school ranks.
