NW Girls b-ball Player Profile of the Week #13



Southwest Washington NW Girl's B-ball Impact player profile;

JANAE BRIA DAVIS

Union High School

Junior class of 2010 #22

Paving your own trail at a new high school. This had to cross Janae's mind, if you transfer away from a school that you grew up thinking you'd attend and play ball for, and then go to a brand spanking new school. I can Imagine all kinds of thoughts in a young teenager's mind. After attending Mt. View HS her freshman year, then transferring to Union for her sophomore and now junior year. Janae has been "big girl on campus" since arriving. Being the starting power forward on a team and school with high expectations, Janae is the consistent, steady force for the Titan's this year. She carried the team nightly this year, after the Titan's got off to a bad start, She help the team earn a tie for 2nd Place in League, and earned All League 1st Team 3A. Congratulations.

Janae is the only child of Michelle Davis an ex-HS softball player and her father Danianke Smith, an ex-UW football player now coaching HS football in California. Athleticism is in the genes. Janae has been playing organize sports since the 4th grade, and started focusing on basketball in the 6th grade when she started working out with her grandfather and joined the Nuthin But Net organization. Her grandparents and mom make it to every game she plays, and she finds inspiration and strength in their presences.

things to know about Janae; favorite movie - Love & Basketball; favorite song - Dear Mama - Tupac; favorite color - Lime green; favorite class - marketing; hobbies include shopping, going to the movies and the spa, hanging with friends and dancing. Janae would like to become a registered nurse or go into psychology when she goes to college, hopefully playing basketball also. Good luck.
