For most freshmen in high school, adjusting to the new curriculum and making the junior varsity team are your typical tasks. For Katie Cramer, a 5’9” forward at St. Joesph Academy, that wasn’t the case. Cramer averaged twelve points, eight rebounds, and two assists, the highest on her varsity basketball team. Cramer’s best stat line of twenty-two points, six rebounds, four assist, three steals, and one block, took place on January 20, 2014 against Fernandina Beach High School. Cramer shot an impressive 71 percent from the field. The Flashes, coached by Sherri Nowatzki, finished their 2013-14 season 10-8.
Maintaining an unweighted grade point average of 3.86 was no problem to Cramer as she took us through her Monday schedule:
