After a summer of workouts and skill training, Cheney’ Raegan Black is eager to hit the court to make this her best season yet.
“Over the summer I attended summer weights and open gym every week,” Black said. “The team and I went down to Pittsburgh State for their summer basketball camp where we scrimmaged a lot of teams. After my season of golf I went to a basketball trainer where I worked on my ball handling.”
Black’s focus this season seems quite simple, and it’s one many high school athletes hope to complete.
“This year I am focused on winning,” Black said. “I want to make it back to state this year since it is my senior year.”
Some big games and tournaments are on the road ahead, but Black is looking forward to each and every time she steps out on the court.
“Obviously I am excited to play our ‘rivals’ Garden Plain considering our head coach previously coached there,” Black said. “This year I want to win the Haven tournament where there is good competition.”
As her high school career comes to an end, Black is looking to soak in all of the “lasts.”
“I am most excited to play this last year with all my girls that have grown close to me,” Black said. “I have played with them since I can remember. I’m definitely going to soak it all in and go out and have fun.”
