Best advice I’ve ever received: “Anything worthwhile in life takes passion and hard work.”
Last Week: Jensen averaged 10.2 points per game for the 14-8 Warriors -- who won five straight games to tne the regular season -- placed third in the Region 1 standings. In Weber's 57-52 opening round loss to Timpanogos in the 5-A state tournament on February 19, Jensen dropped in 20 points.
Jensen on her performance: “I thought we had a good year. We were disappointed because we didn't have any doubt that we would beat Timpanogos. We tried out best, but we lost. We had a few mental mistakes toward the end of the game , things that never happened during the regular season. Coach Dalebout made it a lot of fun and so did playing with (teammate) Kelsey (Sparkman).”
Coach Lisa Dalebout on Jensen: “She's always been a very athletic player. She became a really good defender and a great rebounder this year. Her growth over her three years at Weber High were amazing. She matured and worked really hard in the offseason. She's the type of player that the girls looked up to. She's an emotional player and the team fed off of that.”
After high school: “Hopefully I'll play college basketball at Salt Lake Community College or Snow College and then I'll figure out what I want to be when I grow up.”
