Goddard High School varsity basketball player Maycee James is the starting point guard and someone who loves representing the name on the front of her jersey.
“When I go out on the court in my Goddard jersey, I want it to be known that we work hard for everything we get. We earn our success and we fight to win every single night we play. That is the culture at Goddard, we work hard, fight, and win,” said James.
Being a member of the Goddard basketball team means more than just being another student-athlete. For James it means being part of the community.
“Being an athlete at Goddard is so much more than just playing for 32 minutes a couple nights a week. They care about each athlete even when they are not wearing a jersey. When I first transferred to Goddard I was worried about not knowing anyone other than my teammates, but now people say hello to me in the hallways and teachers check on me whenever they get the chance, which really makes me feel like part of the community,” said James.
Her plans after graduating include getting a scholarship to play basketball at the next level.
“I am looking forward to continuing my career and feel blessed to know that someday I will get the chance to represent a college and be an alumnus of Goddard High School.”
