Mckayla Rushing '27 Recruiting Profile

My name is McKayla Rushing. I started playing basketball 3 years ago and made varsity my freshman year. I had trained to be a gymnast since I was 5 years old. I trained 6 days a week and learned how to manage training and individual work ethic. After gymnastics, I found the love for basketball and volleyball, but basketball has my heart. Basketball has pushed me to be my best and a leader. I train with my team at school but continue my training with my trainer every Sunday after church then straight to open gym. My goal is to inspire our younger age group to bring a strong work ethic and a passion for the game. 

I believe my strongest asset to our team is the defense that I bring on the court. I believe defense can win games and every minute on the court is full effort. I have been working hard on my offiense with my club coach and with my parents any time I can get a court. I believe I can become better each day and bring a winning team to my school.
