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.”
