Though not one to seek the spotlight, Honey has led by example, both on the court and off. She\u2019s a quiet mentor to younger players \u2014 someone who shows up, pushes through, and encourages others to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI just hope to have been a leader that others were proud to be led by,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRCA has helped shape me into the person I am today,\u201d Honey said. \u201cIt has been my source of growth emotionally, socially, and spiritually.\u201d She added, \u201cThrough Riverside, I formed relationships I hope to carry forever and discovered strengths I did not know I had.\u201d Her faith has guided her throughout. \u201cMy faith shapes how I approach school, sports, and leadership by reminding me that everything I do is for God, and those things should glorify Him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking ahead, she plans to attend Middle Tennessee State University and pursue a degree in physical therapy, a field that ties her love for movement to her heart for service. \u201cI\u2019ve always been fascinated by the human body, especially in sports,\u201d Honey said. \u201cThis curiosity has made me want to further understand how the body moves and how to keep the body strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n But more than titles or stats, Honey hopes she\u2019ll be remembered for something simpler. \u201cI want to be remembered as someone who was genuine and stayed true to themselves,\u201d Honey said. \u201cTo my classmates, someone who had others\u2019 backs, someone they could come to for advice or just a good laugh; to my teammates, as someone who gave their all on the court\u2026 never giving up and always pushing others to be their best.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n At RCA, Honey gave everything she had. And in doing so, she became the kind of leader others could count on, just as others had once believed in her.
