NORTH JACKSON OH- A look at the Jackson Milton girls basketball roster will tell you that it is a fairly young team. But, like most teams you can find experience if you look hard enough. For the Blue Jays, that experience comes from senior Camryn Mitchell.

Camryn is one the senior captains on a Blue Jays team loaded with younger talent. Her and the other seniors have the opportunity to set up the program for years to come by showing these younger players who will be staples in the program for a while how to lead. There have been several game this year where Camryn has led the Blue Jays in scoring while the rest of the team struggles to score. However, in other games she has accepted her role as a clutch defender, and a great distributer of the ball. Her ability to score when the team needs her to, but also play an important role outside of scoring makes her one of the more dynamic leaders in the area.

Camryn took the time to talk with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about her senior season. They talk about her goals this year, her coaching staff, and much more. Basketball fans will not want to miss this exclusive interview with one of the best leaders the game has to offer. Enjoy the latest Jackson Milton girls basketball player profile “Yes She Cam!”
