As a child I grew up loving two things, sports & talking. Whether it be basketball, football, or any sport in between my attention has always been drawn immediately to the game, and if the game was breaking all I wanted to do was talk about it. As High School approached I quickly realized sports would definitely be something I wanted to pursue a career in, but as a girl it’s a little more challenging.

The color commentator takes over when the game is not in action, to share their thoughts and game experiences.
