All-metro first team
All-Metro first-team members sound off on….
| If I found $40, I would... | Song that makes me want to skate through the end boards | What I want an opposing coach to say about me | |
|---|---|---|---|
| CC Bowlby | Buy iced vente chai teas from Starbucks. | Wild For The Night by A$AP ROCKY | That No. 13 has a lot of class. |
| Adelaide Burton | Buy a toy to play with my dog Buster and a ukulele music book. | ‘‘Hermitude — HyperParadise’’ by Flume | Note my size, speed and strength and how much fun I have playing the sport I love. |
| Calla Frank | Invest it to make more money. | ‘‘Purple Lamborghini’’ by Skrillex and Rick Ross | That it’s fun to watch me play but it is also frustrating to try and score. |
| Kelsey King | Buy the pulled pork sandwich and tomato basil soup from Cafe Zupas and chocolate cake from PF Chang’s. | ‘‘Forever’’ by Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem | I am just as good of a person as a player. |
| Mallory Uihlein | Buy a pepperoni Potbelly sandwich, a chocolate shake and clear sock tape. | ‘‘Heads Will Roll’’ by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs | Tough to play against and good character and sportsmanship. |
| Madeline Wethington | Put it on my Starbucks app for gameday strawberry açai lemonade with my sister. | ‘‘Blood//Water’’ by grandson | I’m the most competitive and passionate player they’ve had to face. |
