To be a great team in basketball, it’s no secret that you need a little bit of size. For the South Range Lady Raiders they get their height from Hannah Heikkinen. Just a sophomore Hannah has made great strides between her freshman and sophomore seasons. Her personal goals this season were to be a player that makes her team better on and off the court. Coach Fishel says as a role player she is accomplishing that goal. Hannah also treasures the team bonding exercises her squad has gone through this season. They bring a certain joy to the game. The team also has a strong community outreach program. Hannah spends her summers volunteering at hospitals and animal shelters so getting to go and help people with her teammates has been a great addition to her experience. Coach Fishel says that Hannah is really starting to hit her stride in the last couple weeks, and you just might be seeing more and more of her on the floor in the weeks to come. 

Anthony Hartwig made the trip to South Range to catch up with Hannah this week. They discuss personal goals this season, her time management skills, and much more. Gear up for the latest Lady Raider Player Profile On the Heights of Heikkinen.
