Nova Vemon Basketball Team: Nikita Morris, Kaya Squirewell, and Taylor Pierce
Three members of the NOVA Vemon AAU basketball team join me to discuss their career, playing ball during the pandemic, and how Basketball is more than a sport for them, it's a sisterhood.
Kaya Squirewell is tough and physical on the wing as well as the post, can finish in traffic, and plays hard on both ends. She’s a fierce competitor with a high basketball IQ. Off the bounce, she is a handful and a great decision-maker. She’s a blue-collar, old-school leader who can do just about everything. Her nicknames are KD and Baby LeBron
Nikita Morris is a lightning-fast baller who is extremely athletic and great in transition. Tough on-ball defender, great rebounder, very physical, can finish in traffic, and a hard worker on both ends with a high motor and plenty of endurance. Her nickname is Flash.
Taylor Pierce is an extremely hard worker who always gives 100% in everything she does. She’s also one of the best teammates I’ve seen and always supports her sisters. She never takes a play off. Last year, she improved by leaps and bounds and was an animal by the end of the season - always going for the rebound and getting shots in. Her nicknames are The Goat, The Enforcer, The Technician
