Why I chose Bryan College: “I loved the players and the staff.They had the right focus about why we were there in the first place and that was to honor God.It also had a great bio program, which was important to me.God has used this school to make me a stronger influence to others and to help me walk in His will.”
Coach’s Comment:“Hillary is an explosive offensive player.She is very good off the dribble, yet keeps defenses honest with her ability to knock down the perimeter jumper.She served as the backup point guard last season.We plan to use her more on the wing this season.Defensively, she has quick feet and quick hands.She is also one of the more competitive people on our team.”
