Basketball is responsible for the best memories of growing up between teammates, road trips, and state. But basketball has made me realize that just the sport wasn’t my true passion, but making others better and helping other people really is. Blessed for the four years I’ve experienced.” Coach’s Comment: “She’s been really special – she spent most of her life in a gym. All of the years of her young life have been dedicated to sports and improving herself. Her leadership and competitiveness bled over to the other girls on the team. She always led to win and was always a good example in practice, giving every ounce of her energy trying to win games.” – Coach Penny Black /HDJXHLQOHDJXH RYHUDOO 7KH 3URVSHFWRUV VWD\HG with their opponents in the first quarter, tying the score WKUHH WLPHV DQG HQGLQJ WKH TXDUWHUDKHDG Contributing to Grant Union scoring in the quar- WHU ZHUH .RUL 3HQW]HU ZLWK 4; Heather Mosley, 2; Riley 6KDUS LQFOXGLQJ SRLQW at the free-throw line; and 0F.HQ]LH :LOVRQ LQ- FOXGLQJRQHIUHHWKURZ 0RQURH¶V VKRWV LQFOXG- DANCE Spend spring break on the slopes Blue Mountain Eagle 1257+32:'(5±$Q- thony Lakes Mountain Re- sort is again offering a Spring Proud sponsor of Grant County athletes 100 E.
