SportStars Magazine: What makes this rivalry so great? 

Gabby Green: They definitely bring out the best in us. We get really pumped up for those games. Those games are more important for us than any league game. The whole team gets excited when we play them, so it brings us energy.

SSM: How has your game changed since your freshman year?

GG: I definitely got smarter with my game. I was more of a point guard as a freshman, more of distributor. But the past couple years, I’ve become more of a scorer for my team.

SSM: It was Salesian who ended your season last year. What needs to be done to go all the way in March?

GG: We still have the same goals. We definitely want to go back to state and win. To do that, we have to stay focused — not get caught up on personal goals. … We have to keep playing team basketball.
