Herrera locks out her rival as she eyes a rebound.
Brisa Herrera is deceptive.
Off the basketball court, the Coupeville High School sophomore comes across as serene, low-key and friendly.
Her quiet smile arrives before she does, and she projects a positive glow whenever she’s around.
On the court, though, she’s become a wild woman (and we love it), ripping balls away from foes and hip-checking her rivals into the stands with glee.
In the two years I’ve watched Herrera play for Amy King, I’ve seen her confidence soar and it’s been fun to watch.
A true scrapper who plays for the good of her team, often sacrificing for her teammates, Brisa is an easy athlete to root for, and an even better person, it would seem.
As she celebrates her birthday today, we, her many fans and supporters, want to wish her a great cake day.
And a great day every day after that, as well.
We look forward to seeing her game continue to soar in the next two years as she and her teammates continue to grow as athletes and determined young women.
Happy birthday, Brisa. Keep on kicking fanny and taking names.
