CRYSTAL DANGERFIELD
School: Blackman (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) Position: Guard Height: 5-6 College: Connecticut Details: Two-time state player of the year averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 2.5 steals per game this past season, leading Blackman to a 27-4 record. Second-best athlete in the family: Right now, my older sister (Brooke). She played volleyball in high school and basketball in middle school. First car I drove: My mom’s Nissan Murano. Season highlight: Winning the district tournament. There were people that said we would be
fourth in the district, but we wound up winning the regular season and the district, too.
Dream car: Red for sure and a
Maserati Favorite musician: Chris Brown Hidden talent: I can play the piano and drums.
Favorite teachers: Probably at Blackman, Mrs. (Courtney) Gregory and Mrs. (Kim) Baumann. They’re teachers, but they’re also my friends. I can talk to them about anything.
Second-favorite sport: Track. I feel like if I didn’t play basketball, I would run the 100 and 200 (meters) and probably relays.
People confuse me with: I can’t get away from (UConn guard) Moriah Jefferson. She’s taller than I am.
Biggest deal on my phone:
Coach (Geno) Auriemma.
