One of the joys of high school basketball this season has been the overall play of Brittany Shine, the superbly talented Sacramento High Senior guard headed to Florida on scholarship.
Shine talks about her senior season, her teammates, why she chose the Gators, her friendship with Chelsea Gray of St. Mary's and why she's an ideal fit as a Dragon. Footage provided by my trusty sidekick/partner Cameron, otherwise known as The Bee's JOCK - Junior Observer Cameron, Know-it-all.
JOCK also shot some 1-on-1 footage of Shine and me, and wow, did I feel old and worn out within a half minute. JOCK's point of view can be read on his blog here
The great thing about Shine is how she heaps praise on her teammates and friends - Kyra Dunn, Katrina Salinas and so many others. She keeps in regular contact with other players chasing similar state-title dreams, including Sara James of Oak Ridge (they texted each other Sunday, frustrated that they missed late free throws but thrilled that they won the games in the closing seconds).
Here is the interview:
