Answer:
Okay. I just want to thank everybody for those questions and I enjoyed
talking with everyone. I hope I was of some help, and maybe they can catch
me at a game sometime. Watch tomorrow and pray that I make my freethrows --
if I get to the line!
Answer:
Thank you for the compliment. I'm just enjoying playing pro basketball and
just trying to make the best of the opportunity. I'm really excited everyday
that I go to practice with Teresa Edwards. It's like a dream come true! I
had her poster on the wall in my bedroom! So, I'm enjoying myself.
Answer:
I just work hard everyday. We have some good post players on the Rage with Taj
and Cass, so I work hard against them to get stronger everyday.
Answer:
I do plan to be back in North Carolina at camps over the summer. I enjoy
helping out at camps. My advice would be, although you play the post in
high school, work on the perimeter and jumpers. Maybe you can get together
and play against a guy or something who can help you out on the perimeter.
Answer:
I think NC State should do really well this year. I think Erb will do fine
on the inside. The whole team got to see how the final four was, and I'm
sure they want to get back. I'm sure if they keep that goal in front of
them and keep working hard, they'll be tough to beat this year.
Answer:
I would describe myself as silly, laid back, and easy goin' -- except on
the court.
Answer:
I would have really loved to play with her, but I respect her decision and
wish her well. I think it's great right now that a woman has a choice about
which league she wants to play in in the U.S. I think Dawn made a choice, and
we should just let her go with her choice.
Answer:
I play volleyball, softball, I bowl and shoot pool. I play tennis somewhat.
I'm really competitive, so I play a lot.
Answer:
I really don't know, but whoever wins, we'll be tied for first. I think
it's going to be a really great game. I think it's a little early in
the season to say, but our team gelled early and that's been a help.
Answer:
The ABL provided a lot more benefits to me, and I get to play during
the year instead of in the summertime -- that's mainly why.
Answer:
So far, I like playing in New England because of the crowd. I'm looking
forward to knowing millions of people can watch us on TV tomorrow.
Answer:
I would have to say -- Nashville Noise -- Venus Lacy.
Answer:
I love playing with T -- she's always getting on me but in a really
positive way. I think she's always trying to make me a better player
It's interesting to find out that great players like her really do
work hard all the time.
Answer:
We talk to our fans! That's not a problem. We plan to do something
special because it's Thanksgiving.
Answer:
I like to go to TGIF's and talk to all my family members -- my sisters
and brothers and my parents. Almost all of them will be there tomorrow, but
I usually talk to them on the phone.
Answer:
I do not know. But I just hope and pray that I can stay healthy the whole
year.
Answer:
The only way we have an advantage is if we get more rebounds. From being
a rookie, I can see that Columbus will come to play hard. It might work
for us but it might work against us. They might pull together as a team.
But we're ready.
Answer:
From the ones we've had so far, I really like them. I just wish more would come out!
But our hope is, the more we win, the more people will come back.
Answer:
No, I do not -- but I'm working on it.
Answer:
Probably Yolanda Griffith -- Yoyo -- because she's just a tall player
who can go outside, inside, and hit any offensive board that she wants.
Answer:
I would be married an have five kids. No, seriously, I would stay near
basketball. I don't know exactly what I'd be doing -- maybe coaching,
maybe commentating, something to do with basketball.
Answer:
I think that would be question to ask my teammates. I try to bring a
power game on the inside, I guess.
Answer:
The pro game seems a little less stressful than college because I
wanted to do well in school. I'm enjoying just playing and focusing on
basketball.
Answer:
No, it was not hard adjusting to the ABL ball, and I prefer the ABL ball over
the college basketball. All the time when I played pick-ups I played
with the bigger ball. And my hands are big, so it's not really a
problem for me.
Good luck in your game tomorrow, Who are your best friends on your team?
Answer:
I pretty much hang out with everybody. The rookies kinda hang tight
together.
Answer:
Yes, we are very excited about playing the Quest tomorrow. So far the
team has been playing really well together. And when the team plays
well together, destiny follows. So we just keep trying to think positive
and play well as a team.
Answer:
Well, I enjoy playing with Taj because she's experienced and she tries
to help me out playing defense, and she tries to let me know how
a lot of the players play. She's been a lot of help playing on the
inside in a professional league. It's really different from college.
I'm trying to adjust to the professional level and help my team.

Hello. Glad you guys have questions for me tonight and can join in on the conversation..
| This whole deal was originally done by Medius Interactive and the American Basketball League, but I saved what you're seeing here before it vanished forever. (Since I was a season ticket holder, I feel they owe me something). Think of me as an historian. Future generations of young girls need to know what could have been. |
