By: Kaitlyn Rohl

“All in, All Heart” Says three year varsity starter Alyssa Rose. She has been playing basketball since she was 5 years old, and has lead her team in five wins this season. Alyssa Rose stands out with her amazing athletic ability. She is a great passer and is amazing at being able to see the floor. She has a record of scoring the highest of nineteen points in her game against Lakeview.
“Whenever you need a laugh or a boost of confidence, she is always there, having her as a teammate is the best gift anyone could ask for, you can put her up to any task and she'll finish it without ease.” Says teammate Mykayla Askew.
Other teammate Aly Berry says “She always has my been my best friend the best teammate and she always finds some way to cheer me up and make me laugh.”
One of her most memorable moments was winning the PAC for basketball her freshman year. Alyssa was honored to have her “older sisters” Abbie Thompson and Alicia Major take her under their wings and help her out to become the player she is today.
Not only does Alyssa stand out as a basketball player, but she is a standout Softball player. Alyssa has been playing varsity softball for past three years. She wants to pursue her dream of playing college softball and becoming a sports psychologist. She decided this as a career choice because she wants to stay involved with sports even outside of school. Alyssa says she wants to test players to see if they should be drafted, and see if their personality would fit the team.
She is already getting letters in the mail and emails to play college softball. Before her high school years end Alyssa wants to break softball records, pitch a perfect game and become a better shooter. She also wants a undefeated season next year during her basketball season, before the end of her high school career.
Alyssa Rose isn't only a great player but an amazing student. She holds a 3.8 GPA while still being involved in two sports. She is very interested in math and science. Outside of school Alyssa enjoys hanging out with her friends and family, and watching one of her favorite movies the Blind Side. Her number one favorite TV show is Pretty Little Liars.
