Strawberry Crest looked impressive in a 66-21 win over Plant City Dec. 5, and it was sophomore forward Terra Brooks who made the biggest impact. The Lady Chargers’ captain finished with a double-double, 16 points and 10 boards, to lead her team to the win.
You had a pretty big game Thursday night. What were you feeling out there?
I felt better than I had before because, in most games, I haven’t done as well. And I surprised myself that night: I just stepped up.
How are you feeling about this season? Better than last year?
Yes. This year, I feel like our team has come together more, and we’re becoming more advanced than we were last year. We got better over the summer.
What do you like to do outside of basketball?
Writing. I like to write stories. And, volleyball and track — being an athlete.
What do you like to write?
Fictional stories or stories about my life. It’ll just be personal: I’ll just write it in a journal. There’s nothing, like, out there.
You just had a very good volleyball season, keeping close with Plant City while Durant did their thing. What are you looking forward to for next season?
We should be looking forward to a pretty good season. We have some returning girls who are working their way up, just as I am, and we’re just trying to get better.
And, this basketball season — what are some of your goals for this year?
To go to states. Last year, we went to districts and placed second, next to Sickles, and then we went to regionals and beat Lakewood Ranch.
Speaking of basketball, how has Aliyah Gregory’s Assist to Score fundraiser been going?
I’m pretty sure it’s going well. Ever since she announced it at halftime of one of our games, I’m pretty sure that’s been going well.
