As she looks to cap off an impressive multi-sport career, Bishop Carroll senior Avery McCorry has proven to be one of the most dynamic and versatile athletes in Kansas. A three-sport standout in basketball, volleyball, and soccer, McCorry has consistently found herself at the center of success as she has helped her teams capture league titles, substate championships, and even a 5A state title in soccer last spring.
McCorry’s impact on the basketball court is undeniable.
“I would say I’m a pretty solid defender, with good court vision, a strong ball handler, and can score going to the basket or hitting the three,” McCorry said.
She’s been playing basketball since the second grade. Now for this season, she’s focused on fine-tuning her game to help her team reach even greater heights.
“My personal goal is to continue to evolve my game within our team structure,” McCorry said. “I need to reduce my turnovers in transition and improve my 3-point shooting. For team goals, we want to win the Wichita City League, win the mid-season tournament, and make it to state — and win it.”
Head coach Taylor Dugan said McCorry’s leadership and motor are key to Bishop Carroll’s success.
“Avery is athletic, fearless, and vital to the success of our team,” Dugan said. “She is involved in every single play. She has incredible basketball instincts and is definitely the kind of player you want on your team. She works her tail off, competes every possession, and has a knack for getting under the skin of our opponents. She gives us everything she has to help our team succeed.”
