TESS MYERS

NORTH CATHOLIC SENIOR 5-10 • GUARD

-

The scoop: One of few players in WPIAL history to start on four championsh­ip teams. The Trojanette­s’ record in Myers’ four years as a starter was 102-12. This year, Myers averaged 16.9 points and 6.6 rebounds while shooting 48% from 2-point range and 75% from the free-throw line. Two-time Fab 5 selection. Had 1,628 career points and 564 career rebounds. Two sisters (Natalie and Taylor) also scored 1,000 points in their high school careers.

College talk: Signed with Duquesne. Among other schools that offered were Cincinnati, Temple and Colorado. Most memorable moment this season: Beating Blackhawk in the semifinals, just because it was a very anticipate­d game and there was a lot of pressure on the seniors to get back to the championsh­ip.

Favorite player of all time: LeBron James.

Favorite person to follow on Twitter: My sister (Natalie) sends me the funniest stuff from Twitter. Toughest opponent: I would say (former Peters Township star) Makenna Marisa. But this year, (Chartiers Valley’s) Perri Page gave us the most trouble. People might be surprised to know: I play the piano.

Person who has influenced you the most, other than a parent: My two older sisters. You can’t be an athlete or a coach in the future, you’d be: A singer (laugh) because I love singing. Funniest moment from this season: Our last state playoff game, the bus never came to take us to the game. So we had to hurry and pack into a van with the athletic director and we just blasted music and sang the whole way to the game.

With no school because of the coronaviru­s, anything you’ve done differentl­y to pass the time: I would say I work out more on my own. I work out in my family room, the yard, anywhere. We live on a cul-de-sac with a hoop, so that’s perfect, too.
