One of the best kept secrets play­
ing basketball in the N/NE area of
Portland is an eleven year old female
named Erica Mashia.
I first discovered Erica this sum­
mer while I was refereeing in the
Self-Enhancements first summer
league basketball program for both
middle school (11, 12, & 13 year
olds)andhighschool(14,15,16& 17
year olds) boys. Erica was highly
recommended to participate in the
league as the only female and to my
surprise she was one of the top play­
ers in a league fu llo f players with a
lot of talent. Not only is Erica a very
good basketball player but she is also
very feminine as she plays with the
boys. All of the boys in the league
gave her total respect because they
all recognize her fantastic abilities to
play with them. By seasons end she
was just one of the guys.
I asked Erica how long has she
been playing and where did she learn
to play? Her response was, ‘‘1 have
been playing since I was six. My
father taught me everything 1 know.
He has been my biggest inspiration” .
I then asked her why does she play
with the guys and if she worries about
the game getting too physical: She
said, “ I started playing against the
guys five years ago and they have
made me better. 1 don’t worry about
them getting too physical with me,
I’m usually just as big as they are” .
Erica was involved in the Pepsi
Hotshot contest and placed first in
the 9 to 11 year old girls division. She
went on to represent Oregon at the
National competition in Cleveland,
Ohio where she placed 5th.
I was honored to have the oppor­
tunity to watch Erica play this sum­
mer and 1 know we can expect big
things out of her in the future. Erica
now attends Ockley Green as a 7th
grader and she doesn’t know what
high school she wants to go to yet.
She plans to play ball for Ockley
Green during the school year and
then she will again play next summer
in the Self-Enhancements Summer
Basketball League. I strongly urge
you to come and watch how this
