Lauryn: “This season, I want to continue being a leader for younger players, work toward becoming a McDonald’s All-American, and ultimately earn the opportunity to play NCAA basketball. To do that, I stay locked in academically, put in extra reps, and surround myself with coaches and teammates who push me to be better.”

Q: How is your team chemistry coming together?

Lauryn: “Our team is coming together really well. Coach Mangram and her staff push us hard in the weight room, on the stairs, and on the court. Everyone is buying in, holding each other accountable, and you can already see the chemistry building.”

Q: What games are you most looking forward to this year?

Lauryn: “I’m most looking forward to every matchup that gets us closer to our goal of winning the 5A state championship. I respect every opponent, but if you’re not wearing blue and gold, we’re coming to compete, have fun, and leave with the win.”
