Female Athlete of the Month: Stephanie Pogwizd

She graduated from St. Peters and has played basketball since she was five years old. She is the elusive guard/forward of the Lady Chargers basketball team. She is a third year varsity athlete and a second year captain: the one and only Stephanie Pogwizd. Stephanie leads the team with her blistering speed, skillful ball handling and her immaculate shot. Here is what your female athlete of the month had to say:

Central Times: What do you think about your new coach?

Stephanie Pogwizd: He owns. He is really changing the program for the better.

CT: What are the strong points of your game?

SP: I can hit the shots from the perimeter, and I can play pretty solid defense.

CT: What are the weak points of your game?

SP: I’m not much of a rebounder. It’s something I definitely need to work on.

CT: What are the strong points of the team?

SP: We get along very well, and we are off to a great start. I think we have the potential to be better than we have been in past years and have a good chance of ending the season more successfully.

CT: What are the weak points of the team?

SP: Our team struggles grabbing rebounds and doesn’t pass or CATCH as well as we need to.

CT: What do you do in the off-season to prepare yourself for the season?

SP: I’ve done Bulls Academy and Strictly Shooting to hone the fundamentals of my game. I try to keep in shape by running.

CT:What goals do you have as a team?

SP: We want to be .500 in conference, and we would really like to win the regional.

CT: What goals do you have as an individual?

SP: I want to help out the team in whatever way possible, and I would really like to end the year averaging at least 15 points per game.

CT: What fellow player is an absolute key member of your team, where without her you’d be lost?

SP: Kristin. She is extremely inspirational, a hard worker, and really tries to push everyone.

CT: Do you have any last words for our readers?

SP: I think we have improved so much but I feel like we’re going to get even better. The team really appreciates all of the support… We believe.

We would like to congratulate Stephanie for her athletic accomplishments and wish her the best of luck in keeping it real on the court.
