Post season review Impact Player of the week #3


This week's Southwest Washington NW girl's b-ball impact player profile:
-
LINDSEY MARIE LEVANEN
-
Prairie High School
Junior 2010, Wing/Forward #34
-
-
Lindsey and her younger brother live with their parents Lee and Debbie in the Battle Ground / Brush Prairie area. A good student and just a great all around girl, Lindsey stands 6 foot and has a fantastic athletic body that could play college ball now. I believe she's the most talented high school girl's basketball player in Southwest Washington, and yes she's only a junior. Lindsey is fundamentally sound, can play the post or move out to the wing and will provide solid play for the Falcons.
Lindsey has been honing her basketball skills since she was in the 3rd grade where she showed basketball aptitude to her parents. She's been playing club ball since she was in the 6th grade, (Nuth'in but Net, Prairie Select, and Premier Elite) and you can tell that her hard work has paid off. Expected to be the team leader at Prairie High School (one of the top high school girl teams in the state) , Lindsey gives a lot of credit to Falcon former star, Ashley Corral for showing her how to be a team leader on and off the floor. Keeping the team's spirits up and staying positive. When ask about the pressure of keeping the winning tradition at Prairie going, Lindsey responses, yes there is pressure but that just inspires me to play harder. Coming off the bench her freshman year, then starting her sophomore season, now the weight of carrying the best program in the area rest on her broad shoulders. Yes, she can handle it, and she'll stay humble.
things to know about Lindsey; Favorite movie: 27 Dresses-Favorite Song: "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood-Favorite Player: Ashley Corral and Candace Parker-Favorite Team: Tennessee-Favorite Class: US History and Chemistry-Hobbies: include quading, camping, and hiking. She says her inspiration is her grandpa; she's been contacted by Gonzaga, U. of San Diego, St. Mary's, Brown, Dartmouth and many others. Her future includes playing ball in college and studying Biology or Physical Therapy.
