Every week, TFS will be asking a 10/10 LFHS student 10 questions to dive into their passion. This week, we chose Tricia Gray.

With the long-awaited start to winter sports, girl’s basketball is forecasted to have a successful season. Starting off strong with a record of 6-1, they are hoping to take home some titles this season, their last being regional champions in 2020. 

Senior captain, Tricia Gray, has been a key team player on varsity since her sophomore year. Pushing her teammates in practice, having high energy, and being a force to reckon with on the court, she is the ultimate leader.
