What do you love most about the game of basketball?

Bailey (33): The thing I love most about the game of basketball is that I get to compete hard while playing with my friends.

Brooke (12): I love the exciting tempo of the game and being able to play with my friends.

Can you tell me about your recruiting experience and why you ultimately chose your school?

Bailey: My recruiting experience was good. I went to a few camps that were showing interest in me and luckily my favorite one offered. The reason I chose to commit to Texas State was ultimately because of the closeness to my family.

Brooke: My recruiting experience went as well as anyone could hope. I had my top choices of schools and was lucky enough to have one of those top choices of schools offer me a scholarship.

What has been your favorite part of playing in the Texas Elite organization?

Bailey: My favorite part of playing in the Texas Elite organization was becoming part of their family and feeling welcomed.

Brooke: My favorite part of playing in the Texas Elite program has been being able to play with a great group of girls that have become my good friends.

What are your expectations for the upcoming High School season?

Bailey: I have high expectations for this upcoming high school season. Having all 5 starters back allows me to feel confident in my team.

Brooke: I am very excited for my upcoming high school season and I have very high expectations.

What are your expectations for the next level?

Bailey: My next level expectations are high. I think I am a capable player that will adapt accordingly.

Brooke: I am excited for the next level and feel ready to learn and adapt to the new environment and atmosphere.

Describe what it’s like to play with a twin and what it means to know you’ll transition into the next level together:

Bailey: Playing with a twin is like playing with someone who is thinking what you're thinking. I love when Brooke and I get to play together because we see opportunities for the each other that someone else might not see. Transitioning into college with a twin is a huge relief because I automatically go into it with someone who I've known my whole life.

Brooke: I see playing with a twin as an advantage because we both think a lot alike and we always have each other to push one another in practice and workouts. It is relieving to know we are going to the same college because I know I will have someone I know with me until we make new friends.
