JACEY HUINKER Altoona, IA Women s Basketball Nursing Most Influential Person Is: My best friend and high school teammate, who is now playing professionally overseas. She showed me that working hard can take you further than talent. Typical Pre-competition Routine: I m pretty superstitious, so my routine is always the same. I get some shots up, eat the pre-game meal and anxiously watch tv or a movie while waiting for the game to start. What does Coach Trap look for from his players? Coach does a great job bringing in players that are not only great basketball players, but they work hard off the court as well. We all have similar values and our team is more like a family.
