For two years, Cheney’s Reagan Black has gained valuable experience on the varsity girls basketball team.
This season, she hopes she can use that experience towards the betterment of the program.
“This year I’m going to have to step up into a leadership role,” Black said.
Black averaged nine points per game, but now that she is going to be more of a focal point of the Cardinals’ offense, she focused on being a better scorer this season. If she does that, then she thinks Cheney has a shot of getting back to the state tournament.
“Areas that I would like to improve on is shooting behind the arc and my defense,” Black said. “I put in reps behind the arc helping increase my number of made shots. This upcoming season I would like to average 15 points each game. As a team I want to see our team make an appearance at state.”
Not only did Black put in time with her teammates throughout the summer, she also worked out individually, too.
“This offseason I worked with a personal trainer in the spring and summer,” Black said. “Our team traveled to the Haven Jamboree this summer and had two open gym a week. Our hometown physical trainer Hope Kramer ran a summer weights program and worked on strength training, prevention, and agility.”
