HOOPS ELITE MAGAZINE 2018 GIRLS EBC WATCH LIST SLAM CITY MANAGEMENT GROUP PLAYER NAME: MIA SAVOY GRADE 2014-15: 11 After a long season are you ready for the grind of summer basketball with the new Elevate Basketball Circuit? Yes, although I have enjoyed playing in high school I am ready to play at a much more intense level and become a better player. Last year was your first year playing with Slam City, we understand that you and your Slam City team improved over the course of the season. Do you feel like you and team will be able to compete at a high level this coming season? Why? I believe if my teammates and I play at a high intensity with focus and determination we will be able to compete at a high level because we all have three things in common: the love for the game, wanting to get better and ultimately wanting to win. I know it will not be easy but I believe in my team. Explain why you choose to play with Slam City when there are a lot of other teams you could play for in the Washington Metropolitan area? I chose to play for Slam City because I feel that Coach Webb and staff will be able to help me reach my goals of playing in college. I also feel very welcomed and loved here and I always have a great time at training. Do you just play in events or do you train with Slam City too? What do you like most about Slam City’s program? I play and train with Slam City. My favorite thing about the Slam City Program would have to be the way Coach Webb challenges you and makes you analyze the game to where you see it in a totally different way. Do you feel like you have a chance to get exposure with the Slam City program, and do you feel like the EBC will also help you get exposure? Yes, because we will get exposure to great teams where they will challenge me and bring the best out of me. Also there will be college coaches at games where I can show off my skills. 25 | Issue 2 - March 2015 What would you like to accomplish by the end of the summer? By the end of the summer I would like to have become at totally different player. I would like to improve in every aspect of the game: ball handling, speed, shooting, footwork, post moves, confidence…ect. Also I would really like to have some colleges interested in me.
