Addison Wood, a junior at Campus High School, has been dedicated to basketball since her early days at the Haysville Activity Center, starting as early as second grade.
Now an upperclassman, she has a unique opportunity to bring her experience and enthusiasm to the Campus Colts program. With her leadership and determination, Wood is focused on making an impact and inspiring a winning spirit within the team this season.
The junior was an all-league honorable mention player who has been working non-stop this offseason but also knows that winning starts off the court.
“My biggest strengths are the ability to keep a positive attitude no matter the outcome of the game,” Wood said. “With Campus being such a young team, communication and leadership during practice and games is essential. As a leader this year, I plan to organize several team bonding events to help create a positive experience for my teammates and incoming freshmen.”
Wood is eyeing the opportunity to play basketball at the next level in the coming years. However, before that, she focused on achieving several key goals. As a junior leader on the Campus Colts team, she’s determined to leave her mark by pushing her game to new heights, helping her team succeed, and building a solid foundation for the program’s future.
“This season, my goal is to help the Campus Girls program be more competitive while working on my individual stats,” Wood said. “I would also like to be nominated for the first or second team this season. I am very close to my teammates and would love to see us win a few games this year.”
