She is able to get the ball to others when she is double or even triple teamed.” According to Nicole Wilson, junior guard, the team’s motto is whoever has the hot hand that game, get them the ball, and Jorgensen has been the hot hand. Wilson said, “She can hit the open outside shot or can also drive into the lane and that’s awesome.” Jorgensen said her team does a good job getting her the ball, either in a set play or fast breaks. “It definitely helps when you have good teammates around you that are supportive and want to see you succeed. They are willing to pass up a shot to get an assist,” said Jorgensen. To be good at basketball Jorgensen suggests to start young, put extra hours in the off-season, get in shape and don’t settle for just being average.
