Your athleticism truly stood out in our defense this year, leaving an indelible mark on our team's performance. I vividly recall this summer marveling at your incredible speed and agility, exclaiming, "Holy smokes, look how much ground Em is covering!" Your presence on the court was nothing short of remarkable, as you fearlessly threw yourself into every play, diving for loose balls with unwavering determination and dominating the boards like a seasoned professional.

"Emerson never fails to make me laugh, on the bench, on the court, in practice, she always knows how to lift me up. I remember us talking at the beginning of this season and how I told her I was scared of her at first and thought she didn’t like me, and she responded with the same thing. Turns out we were scared of each other and thought we didn’t like one another, but that’s definitely far from the truth. Emerson, I’m going to miss you lots but I know you’ll have a lit time in college!" - Kylie
"Emerson is such a great teammate and someone you always want on your team. She works extremely hard but she also makes things so enjoyable. She makes everyone around her laugh and brings joy to each practice and game. I’ve loved playing with her this year and I’m going to miss her next year! I hope she has such a great college experience!" - Laney
"Emerson is such a great teammate. She has the best hustle on defense. You can always count on her to pick up the intensity during the game. She has a great sense of humor and can always make everyone laugh. I'm so excited her to get out of high school and have a crazy and fun experience next year!" - Izabella
"Emerson, you are such a kindhearted soul. The first day I met you, you were so sweet to me and I always loved watching you play. Your game is so smooth and fun. I love watching you play defense -- you're so fast and energetic. You’re such a hardworking person and an amazing teammate. I’m so glad I got to play with you! One moment I will always love is getting to talk to you every day at practice. You have the most fun stories to tell and you’re such an amazing listener. You are an amazing role model to me and I can’t wait to hear about what you end up doing after high school." - Natalie
"Emerson has a great personality that radiates out and makes people want to be around her. I remember Emersons’s junior year, it was our first playoff game and Emerson went in and hit a contested mid-range floater and got fouled. We were all so hyped for her, but then I’m pretty sure she air balled the free-throw. Either way. we were all so happy for her and she upped the energy on the court afterwards. Can’t wait to see what college holds for you Emerson!" -Tenley
