She is the best to ever walk the halls or ever will as far as stats go. I find it hard to fathom all that she did. It is like a dream world. For her to be placed on some of the state and national records is remarkable for a girl from a small school. |
She loved to shoot the free throws. A lot of times opponents would foul trying to keep the ball out of her hands. As my principal (Todd Hall) said at the banquet she was just a free-throw shooting machine. |
She shot 58 percent from two-point range with people hanging all over her. |
The amazing thing is shooting 455 free throws at that percentage. That is the tough part. You could see shooting 77 percent in 120 maybe, but to do that in 455 attempts is amazing. |
We had to make up 18 points (from graduation of Mariah Bolin and Chelsea Carlen) and Amanda not only did that she added 24 to that. In the first three games of the season we didn't know what we had. All of a sudden she was scoring all those points. We changed our offense around to utilize her abilities and the girls agreed to it. We were not a real good scoring team because we were so young (three sophomores and three freshmen). We set screens for her and excelled at it. Amanda realizes she couldn't do what she did without her teammates. |
