Lacey Harris is the rock and foundation of the Millbrook girls basketball team.
"Being the lone senior, Lacey takes everything under her wings. She does whatever is asked of her and her role changes from game to game. She's willing to do whatever it takes to make the team better and her work ethic carries from the classroom to the playing field, she's just a good all-around student," Millbrook coach Debbie Sanders said.
A four year starter for the Pioneers, Harris knew she would be looked to for leadership, and that's something she's embraced.
"I don't think there was a lot of pressure. I just like to think of myself as one of them. We all goof around with one another. I don't really feel older than them," Harris said.
In the last year the girls have grown together as a team, and Harris has become stronger phyiscally this year.
"I've been taking strength classes this year, but all my life I've been really aggressive because I have two older brothers so they've always pushed me around."
"She's pretty much a leader on and off the court. She helps everyone along and gives a lot of positive reinforcement to everyone," teammate Sara Mead said.
