TIMEOUT! with Katie Haworth
December 5, 2007
Josh Schweitzer
With: Katie Haworth, Spartans Basketball
Hometown: Gresham, OR
MH: Describe the first moment that you realized that basketball was your game.
Katie: The first time I knew basketball was my game, I was about three. My parents bought me a Fisher Price basketball hoop and it became my best friend!
MH: What’s the most you have ever spent on anything relating to basketball?
Katie: The most I have ever spent on anything related to basketball was a pair of Jordans for my grade 12 year. They were $130.
MH: Your team managed just six wins last year, yet just ten games into this season has already eclipsed that mark. What gives?
Katie: We are a new team and we believe we can win. We have the talent to be a top team and are beginning to prove it. We came into the season as underdogs with nothing to lose and are loving that role.
MH: Who is the most entertaining Spartans Women’s Basketball player?
Katie: All the girls are pretty entertaining at some point or another. But overall I’d have to say Emily Knauff. She re-enacts what people say and do in a way that makes everyone laugh. Spend five minutes with her and you’ll know what I mean!
MH: What was the most embarrassing thing you have seen or been a part of during a game?
Katie: During a game I played in grade seven, I was at the free throw line. The referee threw me the ball. I took two dribbles, and on the third I bounced it off my foot and it rolled to the corner of the gym. Doesn’t sound too bad right? Well it wasn’t until my mom yelled from the crowd, (in the already quiet gym): “Take off the skis, Haworth!” Mortifying, absolutely mortifying. It’s not my fault I was an awkward thirteen year old with feet too big for my gangly body.
Now you go...
Got something to say?
