BOARDMAN OH- When looking for leadership in the sport of high school basketball, look no further than
Boardman Spartans senior, Ava Freeborough. An integral part of a Spartans team that won their first conference crown in over 15 years last season, Freeborough looks to take the next step as one of the senior voices for her team this season.

Leading her squad in assists per game with 4.0 and steals per game with 2.0, Freeborough is not shy of also scoring hers as she is second on the team in points per game with a 9.1 average. Beyond that, Freeborough is a consistent presence for her younger teammates that look up to her.

In this exclusive edition of Player Profile on YSN, Ty Bartell got the opportunity to chat with The Spartans senior about her career in basketball to this point. Highlighting some of her favorite memories, the impact the game has had for her off the court, the relationships built and so much more!

BOARDMAN OH- When it comes to Boardman athletics, few can match the varsity experience of senior Ava Freeborough. Since her freshman year, Ava has been a key player across three sports: soccer, basketball, and softball. With that much time on the field and court, Ava’s leadership is second to none. She knows how to motivate her teammates, leads by example, and has the presence to lift up her squads in the toughest moments.

On the soccer field, Ava’s athleticism is impossible to miss. She’s got the kind of speed that leaves defenders struggling to keep up, and her ability to cover ground quickly makes her a constant threat. Whether she’s sprinting down the sideline or tracking back to help on defense, Ava’s hustle shines brightest when the game is on the line.

Ava’s drive doesn’t stop at the field. She’s carrying a 4.0 GPA and is gunning for the top spot in her class. Her dedication to her studies mirrors the hard work she puts in as an athlete. Balancing academics and sports isn’t easy, but Ava handles it like a pro, setting the bar high for her peers.

Soccer has always held a special place in Ava’s heart, and it’s a bond she shares with her father, who also happens to be a soccer ref. From a young age, they’ve connected over the game, and now in her final season at Boardman, they’re soaking in every moment. For both of them, this last ride means something extra.

Ava represents Boardman in all the ways you’d want—she plays with heart, sportsmanship, and an unshakable work ethic. If you haven’t seen her in action yet, don’t miss your chance. Ava Freeborough is putting on a show for Spartan Nation one last time!
