Sharron Diggins- Stepping Up on the Varsity

Sharron Diggins is in her first year of varsity play. I have had the opportunity to coach a long line of her family members in girls basketball at GHS. Her aunts- Madilyn Jackson and Laura Jackson. And obviously her sister Myra.

Sharron has made a GREAT adjustment to playing varsity basketball and to playing within "the system." Her aggressiveness and attacking style have made her a valuable member of the Streaks this year.




What did you enjoy the most in the summer basketball program?
I enjoyed playing as a team with everyone, and getting ready for the season, and knowing where I was gonna end up at like what position I would be playing.

Playing the "system" is a lot different than what you had been used to. What are your thoughts on your experiences?
To be honest I love playing the system, it gives us more and more energy, and it gets us to the point where we know what we have to do in order to win the game.

What has been the most nerve racking thing for you this year? 
My most nerve racking thing this year would probably be going to the basket, knowing I’m gonna get fouled and going to the foul line and having pressure on me!

What has been you most exciting bball experience at GHS?
Playing with my friends that I’ve been playing with since junior high, and my friends that I’ve played against.

What players or players have given you the most inspiration or guidance?
Myra because she's my big sister and inspires me to become a better basketball player, and my grandma.

What is the best basketball advice anyone has given to you?
