GTHING'S ONE ON ONE WITH THE PATRICK SCHOOL'S  (NJ) JHAYLA HODGES.

Jhayla Hodges 17' 5'9 (SG)

Q: So Jhayla how has  it been for you since the transfer to the Patrick School ?

A: Transferring was hard, and I knew It would be. So, I had to make a name for myself and so I did that. Because of that I'm now one of the top shooters on the team and I can be trusted on the floor.

Q: How do you like playing on a team with a bunch of guards ?

A: Playing on a team full of guards is very tough. You have to know every position because everyone is required to play everywhere. And one mistake can take you right out, so you have to be on your P's and Q's.

Q:Has going to the St. Patrick's. Helped your game out, since going there ?

A: I think that the Patrick School has helped me me improve a lot. My defense has gotten a lot better, and my shooting has improved as well. And I'm used to playing at a higher level of competition, It's fun and It's just like AAU.

Q: Do you think you found a home ?

A: Yes, I think I found a home. This team is my family, these players are my sisters.

Q: What High School's did you attend before the Patrick School ?

A: Conwell Egan Catholic (PA), Rancocas Valley (NJ), and Trenton Catholic (NJ).

Q: Was the transition hard for you being as though you played for several different High School's ?

A: Yes, It was hard but I think that It was worth It cause I wouldn't  be where I'm at today.

Q: What are some of your goals for next season ?

A: For next season, one of my major goals is to average 20 points a game and to just go all out for my senior year. I want to set a record, and I want to make a name for myself.
