Hometown: St. Albert, Alberta
MH: What has been the most ridiculous on-court chirp that you have ever heard?
Rachel: I don’t know if this counts for an on-court comment, but in high school last year the coach of the opposite team threw a fit when one of his players fouled me when I was going to the basket. He walked onto the court, pointed at me, and yelled, “Look at her! She’s a steamroller! Call the right foul!” It made me giggle.
MH: Thoughts on the outcome of Super Bowl XLII:
Rachel: I have been converted to a Dallas Cowboys fan, and was really devastated when they were eliminated by the Giants. I was cheering for the Patriots during the Superbowl though, because Tom Brady is pretty gorgeous and every female on the face of the planet secretly loves him. So when the Giants won, I shed a tiny tear.
MH: The most overrated basketball statistic is:
Rachel: I don’t know about overrated, but I do know that defensive stats are heavily underrated. So often people are judged by their points and rebounds, but not by their defensive stops and steals. Talent shouldn’t be judged solely on points scored, but by the effort on defense as well.
Now you go...
Got something to say?
