This week's Southwest Washington NW Girl's B-ball Impact player profile;
Melissa C. Williams
Camas High School
Sophomore class of 2011 #12
"Peeps" as her family and friends call her, (because when she was born she had such big eyes, popping out they say) is the youngest of two daughters from Joe and Karen Williams, she was born in Austin Texas, moved to the Great Northwest when she was 3 years old. Picked up a basketball and knew it was for her. Melissa know stands 6 feet tall, long and lanky. Runs and jumps like a gazelle, and is honing her basketball skills to where she will be a force to recon with, as a part of the terrific underclass up and coming here in Southwest Washington. Peeps credits her father as her long time coach and mentor. She remembers in middle school when she started growing and stretching out past her class mates, saying basketball is my sport. Watching her sister Kelsey play at Camas High School along with her dad, and dreaming of one day playing there with her sister. That dream came true last year, Kelsey's senior year, Melissa's freshmen year, both on the varsity. Older sister pushing younger sister, through the drills and motivating her, seeing something in her that she Kelsey, didn't have but wanting the best for her younger sister. Kelsey was right, Melissa does have a gift for hoops, making All League 3A her freshman season, and All League 1st Team this season.
