Kingman’s Morgan Freund tore her ACL during last basketball season and she is hoping that she can be just as good as she was before.
If she is able to do that, then her goals, both individual and team, can be achieved.
“I want to be 100 percent athletically as good as I was before my injury,” said Freund. “I also want to get 1,000 career assists. I want our team to be one of the top teams in the league, compete every game we play in, give ourselves a chance, and I want us to go to state.”
Being able to get back into the gym, both with her teammates and fans, is one thing that Freund is looking forward to this season.
“I love the atmosphere of playing at home with our fans and the support we have,” Freund said. “We also have a new head coach (Hanna Hageman) this season and she has been great.”
In order to get to those 1,000 assists, Freund was focused on her setting.
“I want to continue to improve my setting and locating my sets to make my teammates able to kill it,” Freund said. “I worked on my footwork, posture, and positioning of the ball. I also worked on disguising where the sets would be going.”
