What I’d like to win a lifetime supply of:  (Michael) Jordan basketball shorts or any kind of shoes

Hobby: “I like the outdoors and cutting and styling hair.”

Web site/video game: Guitar Hero and Halo
Biggest sports thrill:  “In junior high when we beat our rival Rocky Mountain in softball for the district championship.”
Best advice I’ve ever received:  “Anyone can be beaten on any given day.”

 

Last Week:  Hunt, playing in only her fifth game of the season after coming back from a torn ACL suffered during the soccer season, scored 20 points on Friday as the Silver Wolves won their fifth straight with a 64-36 victory over Clearfield.  Fremont's leading scorere at 15 points, also scored seven in a 62-38 win over Viewmont last Tuesday.
 
 

Hunt on her performance:  “(My game) is starting to come back. We're starting to get a flow of the game and working together. We keep getting better. Right now we can either go small or big. W can start five kids that are 5-foot-10 or taller or can pull in our small lineup. I love coming off the bench. It's a different pace that we can throw at (the opposition).  All I did was shoot (while I was injured). I'm a lot better. I didn't even shoot 3-pointers in games before.”

 

Coach Larry Hadley on Hunt:  “She shot and shot while she was injured and has become very deadly from the outside. She's 8 of 10 from 3-point range. We've just found a different gear now that she's back. She's without a doubt the team leader.”

 

After high school:  “ (My plans) are still wide open Hopefully I can play basketball somewhere and get my hair license. I'm probably major in business management.”
