like a better person.

we're doing all right.
All right, so how have youimproved since you were a
freshman?
You remember coming in as afreshman.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That was four years ago.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Definitely confidence yeah and definitely maturity,
freshman year.
When Zivic would yell at me Iwould cry, but now I just kind
of laugh it off.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
We were all a little bit like all over the place Well
, not all of us, but Idefinitely was all over the
place freshman year.
But I feel like as I've gottenolder, I've gotten more like.
I don't know the word.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Also one thing that you, if you like, pay attention
to.
Every single one of us hasgotten stronger physically.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, Like playing with each other.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
we have gotten stronger, you can tell.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
And we all know each other Like we can.
We've been playing with eachother for four years on high
school now, I think also playingas a freshman.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I think we were all very timid, but now we know that
we belong and we are supposedto be on the court and doing
what we do.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yes, and you can tell you guys have played a long
time together as watching.
It's fun to watch because youkind of all know what each other
is going to do and yourstrengths and weaknesses.
It's fun.
So what advice do you give tothis younger?
We've got a good younger groupof people coming up.
What's your advice to them?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What do they have to know now?
It?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
goes by really fast it goes by very fast.
Don't get down on yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Next play Next play and make sure you love it,
because if you don't love itthen it's not going to be fun
and you're not going to want towork hard for it Very true.
Play for your team not.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Oh yeah, don't be selfish always like don't
complain about practice, becausethen there's always people that
are injured, that wish theycould practice, like with all
the injuries we've been throughvery good point, alright, so
what kind of emotions are youexpecting as you come out for
senior night?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
that's kind of a weird thing right.
It's sweet.
Definitely it's going to be sosad come out for senior night.
That's kind of a that's a weirdthing, right?
Yeah, definitely it's going tobe so sad, more bitter.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Just because I've been with you guys for so long,
I feel like life without youguys is like crazy.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
It's going to be weird, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Is there any like traditions or like little
special things you want to do onsenior night?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Play together Us five .
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't know.
I think Southern for a minute.
We all five have not playedwith each other because we've
been hurt.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
This five has that been on the court very much At
all Together?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
At the same time.
But senior night, we're allstarting, alright.
So this is our starting fivethe fab five, the fab five.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Alright, we've got gotta talk about coach.
How has coach impacted youthroughout these years?
Coach zivic, he's a character.
Am I allowed to say that?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
yeah he makes you work hard, like he doesn't make
anything easy yes you have towork, you have to work for
Speaker 3 (08:03):
it yeah letting things like go over your head,
like when he says something,like don't take it to heart,
like just keep working hard,like don't be sad about it yeah,
just keep, definitely haspushed me to be my very best,
yeah same.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
He does it to make you better so all the things he
says.
You just got to take it asconstructive criticism.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He knows how, like he knows our potential and how
good we'd be, so he pushes us.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
For that reason, like you, just have to keep playing,
yeah, especially this season,because this is our season so
exactly anything you want to sayto him in particular.
Speaker 1 (08:36):

then there's the good coach,coach Tim.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's what I'm hearing, okay.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Chance and Savannah.
I feel like, as a girl, theyknow how to help us a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And since they played with them they understand how
we're feeling.
They've been someone to talk to.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yeah, that's very true.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I keep calling them my favorite coaches.
I guess I've got to stop sayingthat.
But what's been the mostrewarding part of playing for
this team, this school?
How are you going to rememberthese days?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
That's a good question.
I'll never forget the people,yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Ever.
The energy, the happiness thatyou feel when you go into the
gym with these people.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No matter what everyone's going through on the
outside.
When we come into the gym,we're all ready to work and push
each other, but we still havefun though, even when we're
competitive.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And I feel like everyone that plays South River
basketball always comes back too, so it's nice to see everyone
that's played coming back tosupport us, and we'll do the
same thing in the future too.
It's a good community.
Speaker 1 (09:59):

one another.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
It's fine guys you guys are gonna be so much better
yeah, we are.
Yeah, this is more thepersonality.
We won't say that loud.
All right, we are recording now.
Speaker 8 (13:21):
All right, so start here.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Name and number.
Speaker 8 (13:23):
I'm Adele Norton.
I'm number 13.
I'm Claire Worway.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
I'm number 21.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
I'm Adriana Kane.
I'm number 4.
I'm Ellie Ox zero all right.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
So this is the fun group.
Yes, all right.
So you got to tell me what.
What does it mean for you guysto be part of this part of this
part of this team, part of southriver, like you're in a big
tradition of bell ringing?
Speaker 9 (13:44):
yeah, um, I think it's more more than a team.
It's like a sisterhood.
We definitely are more thanjust like teammates, like if I'm
referring to one of them, Idon't say teammate, I say like
my friend and it's like I enjoycoming to practice every day.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
I enjoy coming to the games.
Like I get excited to go.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It's like so much fun it's very rewarding, just like
being with people that you lovelike every day.
Like even though for me, likebasketball is more of like a
challenging sport for me, like Ifeel like I'm still like very
motivated to go to practiceevery day because I'm like my
best friends.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's a good thing to have.
All right, you're looking ahead.
Your high school career inbasketball is quickly coming to
an end.
Hopefully not for a while, buthow has basketball helped you
guys shape yourself as goingthrough high school?
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I think it's made me a much stronger person.
It's pushed me to be my bestevery single day, made me more
confident, stronger and justmore motivated all around.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
I agree.
It also definitely teaches youhow to shake off pressure,
because in basketball there's alot of pressure.
Throughout the years I'velearned how to not take it so
personal.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
There is a lot more pressure in basketball, right,
because people are almost on topof you Very intense, that's
kind of intense and we have big,so personal.
There is a lot more pressure inbasketball right, because, like
, people are like almost like ontop of you that's kind of
intense and we have big crowdshere.
This is cool.
How have you seen yourselfimprove since you were a
freshman?
Did you all play when you werefreshmen?
So you've been four years, allright.
How's it changed?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
I guess I like see myself like I don know, like I
feel like freshman year, like Iwould be, like shaking, going
onto the court, like verynervous.
It's just like a atmospherethat like I'd much rather be
playing on like a field than Iwould a court.
That's just like me.
Personally, I don't like thingslike all up close to my face,
so I feel like now I'mdefinitely more like I don't
know.
I just feel like more used toit now, like I've like adapted
(15:32):
to the like.
I agree, pressures and theconfidence that I need to have.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Freshman year, me, adela and Claire were on JV
together and I think we kind oftook it more as a joke than a
sport.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Yeah, like playdates.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Yeah, so now I think we take it a little more serious
, more think of it as a sport,not just goofy, and kind of
going off what Claire said.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
It's definitely less tense.
I remember freshman yeartryouts.
I was so nervous, but goinginto senior year I was much more
confident and felt good.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, confidence.
So what advice do you give tothe younger players?
You've got a bunch of JVplayers out there.
What's advice to them?
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Don't take things so personal, because there'll be
moments where Zivic might saysomething to you and you might
feel like you're going to cry.
But don't take it personal.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's Zivic making people cry.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Oops, sorry.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
I feel like you need to focus on the message of
things more than the delivery,and I feel like that's universal
for all sports.
It's just focus on whatsomeone's saying to you or what
they're trying to do to make youbetter, more than how they say
it to you, because we all saythings that we don't mean in the
way we say it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Because, at the end of the day, they're all just
trying to make you better.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Right.
Also, if somebody gives youcriticism, take it as feedback.
Don't take it personal as well.
Just use it to improve, becauseI know there's been times where
things have been said and takeit to heart when it's just like
advice.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
I also think you should have fun.
Yeah, I was just going to saythat have fun.
It goes by so fast and that's solike cringy to say, but like
it's true, you don't want tolike waste every day, just like
going through the motions andlike I don't know, just
complaining about practice, likebecause like at some point,
like you're going to be, oh, Imiss like being with those girls
.
Like there's nine of us.
Like I'll always like rememberour team and like we've had such
(17:17):
a good like connection and likeI feel like that doesn't happen
everywhere.
It's like we're all friends.
There's not one of us who's nota part of like our group.
Like we're all so close I feellike so enjoyable and there are
nine of you.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
Yeah, that's a big class yeah, we've all grown up
together what's gonna happennext year.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You're all gonna be gone, we'll see what happens,
but, um, I mean, what do youexpect it on friday night?
Like friday night's gonna bekind of wild right, big crowd,
senior night what kind ofemotions I don't know.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I hope it's very like energetic like everybody's
cheering for everyone and like Idon't know it'll be a good game
because it's Broadneck, so it'slike yeah it's a rival, so
it'll be beat Broadneck.
Yeah, beat those Bruins but Ithink it'll be really fun.
Yeah, I think it'll be fun.
Bittersweet moments bittersweetmoments.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Alright, any special traditions that you might want
to share, like what do you dopre-game?
Last home game?
I feel like we kind of werealways in our own world before.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
This is gross, though .
No, no, no, don't say it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I don't want to know what that is.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
I think just in the team room, the locker room we
have so much fun, we just jokearound.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Let's just say in small words Ellie chases people,
Bro.
No, Me and Tatum chase eachother.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I don't know if I want to know anymore.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's just funny.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Let's talk about coach for a second, or all your
coaches.
How have they impacted you?
Who were some of the coachesthat had the most influence?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
okay to me, like chance has been with like
adrienne and I since freshmanyear, because she helped out
when we had coach leo.
So I feel like having her andsavannah like consistent for the
past four years has been likeso nice like have a familiar
face and like I don't always goto them for like basketball
advice or anything like that,but it's just like nice to just
like be able to go up and talkto them and ask how their day
(19:20):
was and like it's just like acomfortable like coach player,
like I agree with chance, likechance and samina, but chance is
just always in like a good moodand if you're having a bad day,
if you just like, even look ather like you smile, like she's
definitely a mood booster Iwould say Coach Tim, because I
transferred last year so I waslike new to everything but I
always knew him from church backat home and he just like helped
(19:45):
me get my manager position lastyear when I couldn't actually
play and yeah, it was funwinning counties and Coach Tim
thinks don and Coach Zivics.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Don't forget Zivics.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
And Zivics.
Yeah, I feel like we bond.
We're both Steelers fans, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We bond over that but .
Speaker 7 (20:04):
I think that Zivics is just like somebody that we
all like joke about but we neverlike really like think about,
like how much we appreciate him.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I think something I'm grateful for for Zivic is he's
always very serious, but therewill be times where he'll just
pop up.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
He's so funny right now.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Sometimes he'll just say the most random things and
just catches you off guard andit just makes you laugh at
yourself.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
You can be so comfortable around him.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
What are you going to miss about all your teammates?
Because you're probably not allgoing to be at the same college
, definitely.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I just think how comfortable we are with each
other.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'm not afraid to be myself or anything.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And then what's next?
What's next?
What are we doing?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
I'm going to Campbell University to play lacrosse.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Campbell University.
Where's that?
North Carolina, Yep.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
And then I'm going to High Point to play lacrosse, so
we'll be playing each other.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Oh, will you play against each other?
Oh, that's exciting.
I'm going to towson, I'mmajoring in criminal justice oh
nice, and I'm hoping to hearback from tampa soon.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And major journalism, yeah all right, well, good luck
thank you yeah, all right.
What do you want people toremember about this class?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
hmm, I'm still stuck on the banner going up yeah, for
the best, yeah yeah I feel likeall around, like our group is
just very like athletic andtalented, and like the bond that
we have like allows us to likeall be leaders on the team.
Like I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
I feel like it's special you never have nine
seniors on a team of 14 yeahyeah, I think like our bond
should be remembered because,like, like claire said, like you
don't get nine seniors on ateam and they're all friends.
We all are friends if we allget along.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I wonder if anybody ever looked into you.
Have to be up there as far asall-time wins as a group.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
It's a lot the last four years.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
It's gotta be up there.
Freshman year we went 21-0.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
This group's gotta be pretty, be up there.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Freshman year we went 21-0.
, 21-0.
, 21-0.
One county.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, this group's got to be pretty high up there.
Yeah, All right.
One final thing.
You want to tell anybody aboutanything?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Can you say hi to Lupe if you ask him for me?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I can do that, thank you.
We go way back.
Speaker 8 (22:10):
I think, enjoy every little moment there is and it's
not just like about being asenior, but just like I don't
know so much more thanbasketball.
Have fun, learn.
There's so many lessons to belearned.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Build relationships today we talked like what.
We went to zivics and we talkedabout like next play and I just
want to share that in front ofour games I shot and I hit the
back side of the backboard andjust next play.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Next play.
There you go.
Next play, next play, and.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
Zivic actually said something to me about it today,
and that was in the beginning ofDecember, and he hasn't let it
go.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I have a feeling he's that kind of guy, he's not,
he's not, he's not but he tries.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Next play, next play, forget she hasn't forgotten.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
She hasn't forgotten.
Speaker 9 (22:59):
I hold it close to me .
Well, that next play happenedlike five times.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
A lot of next plays.
Speaker 9 (23:04):
I haven't even played .
I've been injured.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
I know, but like the first thing, Are you going to be
back at all?
Speaker 5 (23:08):
Probably not, probably not.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
It's a torn leg Rodneck on Friday senior night I
say we go full court press theentire time.
Let's blow them out.
Speaker 8 (23:19):
That's just my opinion.

What's it mean to playbasketball at South River?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I feel like we're all friends.
It's a great atmosphere.
It's very positive.
We're all always encouragingeach other to be better.
It's really competitive atpractice.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
We're always getting at it.
It starts with relationshipsbetween all of us.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
We're all pretty close which makes it a lot
better.
Yeah, we've all been playingtogether for countless amount of
us.
We're all pretty close, whichmakes it a lot better.
Yeah, we've all been playingtogether for a countless amount
of years.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Because you guys all played in shooters together for
a long time.
So this is it.
This is the team that hasplayed together for a very, very
long time.
They're all getting old now.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I feel like South River basketball is also very
competitive.
That's something that all theteams not just girls basketball,
but boys too, and it'ssomething fun for everyone to
watch and be a part of.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
We're kind of like a basketball school.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
Would you say that?
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yes, everybody says lacrosse and all that it's
basketball.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
It might be girls basketball, all right.
So, as you look ahead gettingvery close to the end of your
high school career, hopefullyit'll go for another couple
weeks, maybe a month, maybelonger, I don't know.
But how do you?
Speaker 7 (03:34):
think basketball has helped you guys shape who you
are.
For me, I've built greatfriendships.
Speaker 6 (03:40):
I've learned how to manage my time well yeah, kind
of the same thing as Carly.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Commitment.
Always being here on time,every day showing up, makes you
like a better person.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I feel like it's made me like mentally and physically
stronger, like having to endure, like all the stuff like we've
all gone through.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yes, and you've all done it together, which?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
is cool.
Yeah, yes, ACLs and disciplinetoo, Like you have to always be
disciplined and doing the rightthing to make the team work hard
.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
This team, this group , you guys have had some
injuries too.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah Me, sam and Regan have all torn our ACLs.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
And we have another Key West.

But you're all back.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
We're all back, we're rolling.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
We're rolling right now.
Right, can we talk about theseason a little bit Like how's
it going, it's going really good.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
How do we feel it's going Good, good and counting
we're doing yeah and countingwe're undefeated right now.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
We had a couple competitive teams we've played
out of county.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Ever yes ever, and we've only lost by like less
than five for all of them, sothey're all close.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
That's good.
So we got it.
How many more games we got left?
We got senior night on Fridaynight.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
And then we play.

Speaker 2 (04:58):

Speaker 6 (05:00):
Wednesday we play Meade, and then we play Southern

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Four games left.
Then we go into County, then wego into the big tournament.
What's our predictions?
What are we shooting for?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
States All the way.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
You can't make me look bad, because I said at the
beginning of the year you werewinning States.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
I got a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I got a little nervous, but you're on a roll
now.
I think we're doing alright.
How have I got a little nervous?
We're on a roll.
I got a little nervous, butyou're on a roll now, so I think
we're doing all right.
All right, so how have youimproved since you were a
freshman?
You remember coming in as afreshman.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
That was four years ago.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
Definitely confidence yeah and definitely maturity,
freshman year.
When Zivic would yell at me Iwould cry, but now I just kind
of laugh it off.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
We were all a little bit like all over the place Well
, not all of us, but Idefinitely was all over the
place freshman year.
But I feel like as I've gottenolder, I've gotten more like.
I don't know the word.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Also one thing that you, if you like, pay attention
to.
Every single one of us hasgotten stronger physically.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Yeah, Like playing with each other.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
we have gotten stronger, you can tell.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
And we all know each other Like we can.
We've been playing with eachother for four years on high
school now, I think also playingas a freshman.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I think we were all very timid, but now we know that
we belong and we are supposedto be on the court and doing
what we do.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Yes, and you can tell you guys have played a long
time together as watching.
It's fun to watch because youkind of all know what each other
is going to do and yourstrengths and weaknesses.
It's fun.
So what advice do you give tothis younger?
We've got a good younger groupof people coming up.
What's your advice to them?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
What do they have to know now?
It?
Speaker 3 (06:27):
goes by really fast it goes by very fast.
Don't get down on yourself.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
Next play Next play and make sure you love it,
because if you don't love itthen it's not going to be fun
and you're not going to want towork hard for it Very true.
Play for your team not.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Oh yeah, don't be selfish always like don't
complain about practice, becausethen there's always people that
are injured, that wish theycould practice, like with all
the injuries we've been throughvery good point, alright, so
what kind of emotions are youexpecting as you come out for
senior night?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
that's kind of a weird thing right.
It's sweet.
Definitely it's going to be sosad come out for senior night.
That's kind of a that's a weirdthing, right?
Yeah, definitely it's going tobe so sad, more bitter.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Just because I've been with you guys for so long,
I feel like life without youguys is like crazy.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
It's going to be weird, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Is there any like traditions or like little
special things you want to do onsenior night?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Play together Us five .
Speaker 2 (07:25):
I don't know.
I think Southern for a minute.
We all five have not playedwith each other because we've
been hurt.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
This five has that been on the court very much At
all Together?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
At the same time.
But senior night, we're allstarting, alright.
So this is our starting fivethe fab five, the fab five.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Alright, we've got gotta talk about coach.
How has coach impacted youthroughout these years?
Coach zivic, he's a character.
Am I allowed to say that?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
yeah he makes you work hard, like he doesn't make
anything easy yes you have towork, you have to work for
Speaker 3 (08:03):
it yeah letting things like go over your head,
like when he says something,like don't take it to heart,
like just keep working hard,like don't be sad about it yeah,
just keep, definitely haspushed me to be my very best,
yeah same.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
He does it to make you better so all the things he
says.
You just got to take it asconstructive criticism.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
He knows how, like he knows our potential and how
good we'd be, so he pushes us.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
For that reason, like you, just have to keep playing,
yeah, especially this season,because this is our season so
exactly anything you want to sayto him in particular.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I mean he may or may not hear it.
Yeah, he will the world's gonnabe he better watch he better
yeah thanks Zivic.
Thanks Zivic who else do youwant to say thank you, though?
There's a lot of peopleprobably that have helped you
get this far definitely CoachTim.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Yeah, making practice fun.
He like balances it.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
Yeah, there's like Zivic, and then there's him and
then there's the good coach,coach Tim.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
That's what I'm hearing, okay.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Chance and Savannah.
I feel like, as a girl, theyknow how to help us a lot.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And since they played with them they understand how
we're feeling.
They've been someone to talk to.
Speaker 5 (09:13):
Yeah, that's very true.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I keep calling them my favorite coaches.
I guess I've got to stop sayingthat.
But what's been the mostrewarding part of playing for
this team, this school?
How are you going to rememberthese days?
Speaker 7 (09:30):
That's a good question.
I'll never forget the people,yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Ever.
The energy, the happiness thatyou feel when you go into the
gym with these people.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No matter what everyone's going through on the
outside.
When we come into the gym,we're all ready to work and push
each other, but we still havefun though, even when we're
competitive.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
And I feel like everyone that plays South River
basketball always comes back too, so it's nice to see everyone
that's played coming back tosupport us, and we'll do the
same thing in the future too.
It's a good community.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
All right, you guys give me some funny stories about
one another.
You, you gotta give me somefunny stories about one another.
You guys have played togetherfor a long time.
Speaker 6 (10:05):

Carly scored on the wrongbasket.
Oh my gosh.

Yes, you did in Tennessee oh my gosh, when was
this?
Like two years ago, sophomoreyear, oh so relatively yeah it
was the jump ball.
Speaker 2 (10:19):

yeah, um, I think it's more more than a team.
It's like a sisterhood.
We definitely are more thanjust like teammates, like if I'm
referring to one of them, Idon't say teammate, I say like
my friend and it's like I enjoycoming to practice every day.
Speaker 8 (13:57):
I enjoy coming to the games.
Like I get excited to go.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
It's like so much fun it's very rewarding, just like
being with people that you lovelike every day.
Like even though for me, likebasketball is more of like a
challenging sport for me, like Ifeel like I'm still like very
motivated to go to practiceevery day because I'm like my
best friends.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
That's a good thing to have.
All right, you're looking ahead.
Your high school career inbasketball is quickly coming to
an end.
Hopefully not for a while, buthow has basketball helped you
guys shape yourself as goingthrough high school?
Speaker 8 (14:29):
I think it's made me a much stronger person.
It's pushed me to be my bestevery single day, made me more
confident, stronger and justmore motivated all around.
Speaker 9 (14:42):
I agree.
It also definitely teaches youhow to shake off pressure,
because in basketball there's alot of pressure.
Throughout the years I'velearned how to not take it so
personal.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
There is a lot more pressure in basketball, right,
because people are almost on topof you Very intense, that's
kind of intense and we have big,so personal.
There is a lot more pressure inbasketball right, because, like
, people are like almost like ontop of you that's kind of
intense and we have big crowdshere.
This is cool.
How have you seen yourselfimprove since you were a
freshman?
Did you all play when you werefreshmen?
So you've been four years, allright.
How's it changed?
Speaker 7 (15:10):
I guess I like see myself like I don know, like I
feel like freshman year, like Iwould be, like shaking, going
onto the court, like verynervous.
It's just like a atmospherethat like I'd much rather be
playing on like a field than Iwould a court.
That's just like me.
Personally, I don't like thingslike all up close to my face,
so I feel like now I'mdefinitely more like I don't
know.
I just feel like more used toit now, like I've like adapted
(15:32):
to the like.
I agree, pressures and theconfidence that I need to have.
Speaker 9 (15:35):
Freshman year, me, adela and Claire were on JV
together and I think we kind oftook it more as a joke than a
sport.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
Yeah, like playdates.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Yeah, so now I think we take it a little more serious
, more think of it as a sport,not just goofy, and kind of
going off what Claire said.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
It's definitely less tense.
I remember freshman yeartryouts.
I was so nervous, but goinginto senior year I was much more
confident and felt good.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Yeah, confidence.
So what advice do you give tothe younger players?
You've got a bunch of JVplayers out there.
What's advice to them?
Speaker 9 (16:12):
Don't take things so personal, because there'll be
moments where Zivic might saysomething to you and you might
feel like you're going to cry.
But don't take it personal.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
It's Zivic making people cry.
Speaker 9 (16:21):
Oops, sorry.
Speaker 7 (16:23):
I feel like you need to focus on the message of
things more than the delivery,and I feel like that's universal
for all sports.
It's just focus on whatsomeone's saying to you or what
they're trying to do to make youbetter, more than how they say
it to you, because we all saythings that we don't mean in the
way we say it.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Because, at the end of the day, they're all just
trying to make you better.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
Right.
Also, if somebody gives youcriticism, take it as feedback.
Don't take it personal as well.
Just use it to improve, becauseI know there's been times where
things have been said and takeit to heart when it's just like
advice.
Speaker 7 (16:56):
I also think you should have fun.
Yeah, I was just going to saythat have fun.
It goes by so fast and that's solike cringy to say, but like
it's true, you don't want tolike waste every day, just like
going through the motions andlike I don't know, just
complaining about practice, likebecause like at some point,
like you're going to be, oh, Imiss like being with those girls
.
Like there's nine of us.
Like I'll always like rememberour team and like we've had such
(17:17):
a good like connection and likeI feel like that doesn't happen
everywhere.
It's like we're all friends.
There's not one of us who's nota part of like our group.
Like we're all so close I feellike so enjoyable and there are
nine of you.
Speaker 9 (17:29):
Yeah, that's a big class yeah, we've all grown up
together what's gonna happennext year.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You're all gonna be gone, we'll see what happens,
but, um, I mean, what do youexpect it on friday night?
Like friday night's gonna bekind of wild right, big crowd,
senior night what kind ofemotions I don't know.
Speaker 8 (17:49):
I hope it's very like energetic like everybody's
cheering for everyone and like Idon't know it'll be a good game
because it's Broadneck, so it'slike yeah it's a rival, so
it'll be beat Broadneck.
Yeah, beat those Bruins but Ithink it'll be really fun.
Yeah, I think it'll be fun.
Bittersweet moments bittersweetmoments.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Alright, any special traditions that you might want
to share, like what do you dopre-game?
Last home game?
I feel like we kind of werealways in our own world before.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
This is gross, though .
No, no, no, don't say it.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
I don't want to know what that is.
Speaker 8 (18:28):
I think just in the team room, the locker room we
have so much fun, we just jokearound.
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Let's just say in small words Ellie chases people,
Bro.
No, Me and Tatum chase eachother.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I don't know if I want to know anymore.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
It's just funny.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Let's talk about coach for a second, or all your
coaches.
How have they impacted you?
Who were some of the coachesthat had the most influence?
Speaker 7 (18:58):
okay to me, like chance has been with like
adrienne and I since freshmanyear, because she helped out
when we had coach leo.
So I feel like having her andsavannah like consistent for the
past four years has been likeso nice like have a familiar
face and like I don't always goto them for like basketball
advice or anything like that,but it's just like nice to just
like be able to go up and talkto them and ask how their day
(19:20):
was and like it's just like acomfortable like coach player,
like I agree with chance, likechance and samina, but chance is
just always in like a good moodand if you're having a bad day,
if you just like, even look ather like you smile, like she's
definitely a mood booster Iwould say Coach Tim, because I
transferred last year so I waslike new to everything but I
always knew him from church backat home and he just like helped
(19:45):
me get my manager position lastyear when I couldn't actually
play and yeah, it was funwinning counties and Coach Tim
thinks don and Coach Zivics.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Don't forget Zivics.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
And Zivics.
Yeah, I feel like we bond.
We're both Steelers fans, okay.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
We bond over that but .
Speaker 7 (20:04):
I think that Zivics is just like somebody that we
all like joke about but we neverlike really like think about,
like how much we appreciate him.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I think something I'm grateful for for Zivic is he's
always very serious, but therewill be times where he'll just
pop up.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
He's so funny right now.
Speaker 9 (20:20):
Sometimes he'll just say the most random things and
just catches you off guard andit just makes you laugh at
yourself.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
You can be so comfortable around him.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
What are you going to miss about all your teammates?
Because you're probably not allgoing to be at the same college
, definitely.
Speaker 8 (20:35):
I just think how comfortable we are with each
other.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
I'm not afraid to be myself or anything.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
And then what's next?
What's next?
What are we doing?
Speaker 8 (20:44):
I'm going to Campbell University to play lacrosse.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Campbell University.
Where's that?
North Carolina, Yep.
Speaker 7 (20:49):
And then I'm going to High Point to play lacrosse, so
we'll be playing each other.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Oh, will you play against each other?
Oh, that's exciting.
I'm going to towson, I'mmajoring in criminal justice oh
nice, and I'm hoping to hearback from tampa soon.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
And major journalism, yeah all right, well, good luck
thank you yeah, all right.
What do you want people toremember about this class?
Speaker 7 (21:12):
hmm, I'm still stuck on the banner going up yeah, for
the best, yeah yeah I feel likeall around, like our group is
just very like athletic andtalented, and like the bond that
we have like allows us to likeall be leaders on the team.
Like I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:27):
I feel like it's special you never have nine
seniors on a team of 14 yeahyeah, I think like our bond
should be remembered because,like, like claire said, like you
don't get nine seniors on ateam and they're all friends.
We all are friends if we allget along.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I wonder if anybody ever looked into you.
Have to be up there as far asall-time wins as a group.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
It's a lot the last four years.
Speaker 9 (21:50):
It's gotta be up there.
Freshman year we went 21-0.
Speaker 6 (21:52):
This group's gotta be pretty, be up there.
Speaker 9 (21:53):
Freshman year we went 21-0.
, 21-0.
, 21-0.
One county.
Speaker 1 (21:57):

One final thing.
You want to tell anybody aboutanything?
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Can you say hi to Lupe if you ask him for me?
Speaker 1 (22:06):

not just like about being asenior, but just like I don't
know so much more thanbasketball.
Have fun, learn.
There's so many lessons to belearned.
Speaker 9 (22:23):
Build relationships today we talked like what.

want to share that in front ofour games I shot and I hit the
back side of the backboard andjust next play.

Speaker 9 (22:44):
Zivic actually said something to me about it today,
and that was in the beginning ofDecember, and he hasn't let it
go.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I have a feeling he's that kind of guy, he's not,
he's not, he's not but he tries.
Speaker 9 (22:54):
Next play, next play, forget she hasn't forgotten.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
