Katherine Shammas - Most Improved Player - Girls JV Basketball
Katherine Shammas is this year’s most improved player. With limited time last year as a freshman, Katherine came out guns blazing showing a huge improvement! Her dribbling and shooting skills were greatly impressive and her sheer athleticism and instinct solidified her in the starting five. With a need for a forward this season, Katherine took the responsibility and excelled in every aspect. She became one of our greatest assets- a great rebounder with great “ups” and an integral part of our press in the “MOM” spot where she could anticipate any pass and jump in front of it for a turnover every time. It was unbelievable to watch and got the team pumped up for more! She was always willing to do what the team needed and wanted to be on the court during those crucial moments embracing it. As a sophomore captain, Katherine was a true leader by example- always giving 110% and leaving nothing on the court. I cannot wait to see what her future holds in this basketball program.
