Its October, and you know what that means.. No, not Halloween! A new featured athlete on campus. This month’s featured athlete is Anyssa Taylor. Anyssa is a Senior here on campus and has been here all four year of high school. Her sister is sophomore Tatyana Taylor. Anyssa is a four sport athlete, which means she is always busy. She plays volleyball, basketball, softball, and also participates in track.

She says “My favorite part about playing all four sports is the competition, having fun with my teammates, and winning.” But out of the four sports her favorite is basketball. “I like basketball the most because I grew up playing and watching it.”

 With her busy schedule she still finds time to keep up her grades. Taylor has a 3.8 a grade point average. She is still undecided on which college she wants to go to.

When asked how she manages to keep good grades and play sports her reply was, “By staying focused and having great parents that push me to always do my best.

When Taylor is not playing sports or doing school work she enjoys hanging out with her friends and family. Her best friends are Erin Keener and Samantha Mendoza, also two students who are very active in sports.
