Brooke Frantzen ... Doesn't Have a Hookshot
Senior team co-MVP Brooke Frantzen takes time to sit down with the Central Times to talk about her sophomore team owning, her friends’ play-making abilities, and getting into a fight with Driscoll.
Central Times: Where did you go to grade school?
Brooke Frantzen: Annunciation.
CT: What has been the best part of high school for you?
BF: Playing sports, especially sophomore basketball with Michelle (DeSimone) and Kristin (Brouch).
CT: What do you think is the strongest point of your game?
BF: Rebounding.
CT: What do you think is the weakest point of your game?
BF: I have no hookshot, though Mark Brauweiler tried to teach me one.
CT: What was the hi-lite of your season? career?
BF: For the season, the last game when I stole the ball when we were pressing and I passed it to Michelle for the layup, and she missed…just like sophomore year. For my career, sophomore basketball at Driscoll with Michelle and Kristin when we all were sitting on the bench together because the coaches were sure we were going to win…we lost that game.
CT: What are your plans for the future?
BF: Aurora University, and I want to be a firefighter and possibly volleyball in college.
CT: What’s something that your fellow ACC classmates don’t know about you?
BF: I want to be a firefighter.
CT: Any nicknames people have for you?
BF: Brookie, BK.
CT: If you could make your own nickname for yourself, what would it be?
BK: I’d go with “Brookiebaby” because it just sounds cool.
CT: You have to pick 2 other girls from your team to go in on a 3-on-3 tournament with you with big money on the line. Who do you take and why?
BK: Me, Kristin, and Michelle because we pretty much own.
CT: Five seconds left on the clock, and someone other than you has to take the last shot. Who do you dish to and why?
BK: Kristin because I know she wouldn’t air ball it!
CT: Tell us an embarrassing story about you or someone else from your team from this year.
BK: Well, pretty much the whole team is embarrassing. But I did almost get into a fight against this one girl from Driscoll…but that’s just funny, not really embarrassing.
