Describe the moment when Coach Mebane offered you a scholarship? "When Coach Mebane offered me the scholarship, I was excited and grateful for the opportunity to play for the Hampton University Lady Pirates. When he came to my house for a home visit, he was very personable.  Not only was he interested in my goals but he shared his goals with me.  He spoke of wanting to be the first HBCU to make it into the sweet sixteen or the final four and he talked about how I could help make this goal a reality.  I could see that he is committed to his players and the total program at Hampton. When my mom and dad saw the folder with the full scholarship offer, they were excited too and they were proud that I had made this accomplishment."

Tell us about your competitive basketball experience and how it prepared you for this moment? "When I became of age to play competitive basketball, my dad was a coach for the Comets 12U team.  I would go to practice with him but I was not at all interested in playing basketball.  I would play on the sidelines with my friends.  As I watched the players practice and watched how disciplined they were I became interested. The following year, I tried out and made the team. Playing for the Comets has been a rewarding and well rounded experience for me.  The coaches not only stressed the skills but they instilled values and they placed a major emphasis on honesty and respect. I will forever be indebted to the Comets Basketball program and I owe to them a huge portion of what I have achieved."
