Q&A With Sarah Chambers

D9Sports: What is your favorite sport to participate in and why?
SC: My favorite sport to participate in is basketball. I love basketball because it can so easily take your mind off anything and it is a stress reliever to me. I also love it because of the bonds and friendships it makes.

D9Sports: What is your favorite memory, moment, game from playing high school sports?
SC: My favorite moment was when my older brother had a game-winning shot in the PIAA playoffs. I loved it because it was so exciting and I was able to stand right behind him & tell as soon as he shot it that it was going to go in.

D9Sports: Why do you play high school sports?
SC: I play high school sports because sports are something that I am extremely passionate about.

D9Sports: Who has had the most influence on your athletic career and why?

D9Sports: If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be and why?

SC: If I were president for one day, I would make sure everyone in the world has a Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger.

D9Sports: What is your strongest subject in school?
SC: My strongest subject in school is math.

D9Sports: If there was one period in history or one event in history you could go back to, what would it be?
SC: If I could go back to one time in history, I would go back to when Eliot Ness lived in Coudersport.

D9Sports: What question do you wish I would have asked you? And what is the answer to it?
SC: The question I wish you would’ve asked me is what am I most excited about for this upcoming sports seasons. The answer would be the fact I will get the chance to play basketball with my little sister, Emma. She is going to be a freshman, and I am excited to see what her freshman season holds for her.
