Nina Ciresi

Senior girls basketball captain Nina Ciresi started playing basketball in 6th grade. “[When I started] it wasn’t that big of a role in my life, it was just kind of something that I did. But, in high school especially, it has turned into something that I love […] and forward to doing,” she said.

Ciresi is a co-captain this year, which requires her to step up as a leader and play a bigger role on the team that she has in her past years.

“In practice, I have to be setting a good example for my teammates and being a leader on and off the court, someone that the girls look up to. That means always coming to practice ready and playing my hardest,” Ciresi said.

She is planning on using her final year to unite the team, “making everyone happy and being a good program overall,” she said.
