Chinna Fair, Midwest City

-

Chinna Fair sat down with her family before the season started and made a change.

At the time, she was committed to Missouri State. By the end of the conversati­on, she was headed to Arlington, Texas, to join University of TexasArlin­gton.

“Just distance-wise and talking with my family changed my mind,” Fair said.

With that out of the way, Fair put together her best high school season as she averaged 17.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. She also led Midwest City to the Class 6A state championsh­ip to earn a spot on The Oklahoman’s Super 5 team.

She spoke with The Oklahoman about this season and life off the court.

Q: What was the high point of the season for you? Beating Sapulpa to make state or winning the gold ball?

A: Definitely the gold ball. It meant a lot being a senior.

We connect every time we go up and down the floor. It’s just eye contact and everything.

I’m addicted to Twitter. It just gets me a lot, just talking to other people and tweeting. I’m addicted to it.

My mom. She’s been there since Day 1 teaching me everything. She’s just helped me out a lot.

When I hit high school, I knew I was about to be grown and stuff. It just hit me I had to figure life out.

Bryson Tiller, Chris Brown. That’s about it. I listen to a lot of people. 5-8
