<p><strong>How is the season going?</strong><br>Pretty good so far. I am in a pretty tough district. PCA, BGA, Webb.</p>

<p><strong>Did you see PCA lost last night?</strong><br>That was a big one. My teammates and I were cheering. That was a big game. </p>

<p><strong>You guys saw the game?</strong><br>We re-watched it on the bus all together.</p>

<p><strong>How are you playing individually?</strong><br>I think I am doing pretty well. I think my blocks are down from last year, but all of my totals are up. I am shooting about 68%. My three-ball is having a little bit of a dip because I was struggling with a wrist injury.</p>

<p><strong>Did you miss games?</strong><br>I knew my team needed the wins, so I worked through it. </p>

<p><strong>Are you healed? When was the injury?</strong><br>It was a stretch of games. We went to the Smokies. At least half of our team had the flu going into those games. I couldn't really breathe that well either [that game]. It stretched pretty much through the entire winter break. People were still sick going into that PCA game in the third.</p>

<p><strong>How are the conversations going well with your college coach?</strong><br>Pretty good. They are having a good season. I have been watching games online. He has been very transparent. Very vocal with me. I feel like we are actually eye-to-eye on things. He is really good.</p>

<p><strong>Who else is playing well for you guys?</strong><br>Braylyn Davis. He has been playing pretty well. Had a couple streaky moments, but he has been sticking to that 16 ppg mark. We have another senior guard, Sam Jackson. He is doing well. Stretch the floor. I love having good spacing. </p>
