1. Program/Graduation Plan: Associate in Arts. I plan to graduate May of 2015.

2. How I Made the Team: Coach Lorenz and my A.A.U. coach Troy spoke and Coach Lorenz asked my mother if I’d like to play for MATC.

3. Position: I play the 4 mainly, but sometimes he may put me in as a 5.

4. When I Started Playing Basketball: I started playing basketball in elementary school but not competitively until middle school.

5. What I Like About Being a Stormer: I enjoy the long bus rides we have, watching movies and being around the girls at night in the hotel room laughing, joking, telling each other secrets. Just basically bonding.

6. Advice for Prospective Players: Always come to work and always give it your all. Some people, this is the first chance they get being a basketball player. I want all the girls coming in to always have a great attitude. The coaches aren’t there to criticize you; they’re here to help and make you better student- athletes.

7. Hobbies/Interests: My second passion was volleyball, but my mom was really hard on me playing chess. It was just something about chess she instilled in me and my twin sister to make us want to play. She was strict on us always having something to do with our time.

8. What Inspires Me: I would say my sister Chryssion but she passed when I was 13, but her death hit me hard and if I wasn’t focusing on her leaving me it was for the better. My mom struggled making sure I could play; her depression became overwhelming though. Soon she has my little brother Josiah and he lights up my world with just his smile. He tells me all the time, “Ti, I want to play basketball like you.” Those words somehow just make me want to be a better player. Those two do it for me; they inspire me to become a better “me” on and off the court.

9.Anything Else?: Soon basketball with MATC will be over. My two years of playing with this team will be over, but I don’t want to think of it like that, but sometimes sitting at home I wonder where I’d be next year if I was in Milwaukee. Coming from Kansas City, Mo., a second time, I kind of made a home here and next year I’ll have to make a home elsewhere. I don’t want to think about the negative of leaving but the positives…this just doesn’t seem fair for me. I love my teammates so much. I have a love for each and every single one of them, just in a different way. Coach Casey may have been really tough on the boys, but he was always sweet to the girls. I’m going to miss him. As I wrap up my sophomore year in college, I’ll only have memories of what I did here and the friends I did make while I was here.
