HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The UCF Knight Women's Basketball Team would like to extend a very Happy Thanksgiving to our family, friends and fans. Today, each one of our student-athletes took the opportunity to write down what we are thankful for this season:

BRYEASHA BLAIR

One thing that I am thankful for is the determination and support of my family.

GENEVIA CARTER

I'm thankful to be in good health and surrounded by people that care about me. I'm also thankful for the ability to play basketball and experience something many people would like to experience (playing college basketball). Most of all I'm thankful to see another Thanksgiving!

RACINE DAVIS

One thing I'm thankful for is my family. It's something everyone says, but I truly believe it to be true. With so much going on in the world, tomorrow isn't promised. Which is why I am thankful for them to be around another Thanksgiving .

SARAH GREEN

This holiday season I am thankful that I have another opportunity to play basketball. I am also thankful for my teammates and my coaches who are my family away from home. I am most thankful that my family is in good health.

ANDREA HINES

I am thankful for being able to return this season after my injury. I am thankful that I have a family that cares about me.

ERIKA JONES

I am thankful that I have my health and that I have people around me that want to bring me up instead of put me down.

KAYLI KEOUGH

This holiday season I am continually thanking God for the incredible people He has placed in my life. I am so blessed to have family and friends that I love and respect. The people who I get to be around motivate me in so many ways to be better than I was the day before.

MEGHAN KEOUGH

I'm thankful for my close family and friends and for being brought into such a close knit UCF family. I am thankful for the opportunity I have before me to get better and learn these next four years. I hope to carry over these lessons into every aspect of my life to reach my full potential as a player, student, and most importantly, as a person.

ASHIA KELLY

This holiday season I am most thankful for being fortunate enough to be alive and able to display my talent on the basketball court. Not every person is given the opportunity to play collegiate basketball, but I am most thankful that my coaches continue to believe I possess the skills to help make our team a success.

LEO MONTAVLO

I am thankful for my family and their support they provide me.

AISHA PATRICK

I am thankful for my mom and her toughness, my niece which is a new edition to our family, and I'm also thankful for the things we normally take for granted like my scholarship, a good family-based team, and the ability to contribute on and off the court to many individuals.

STEPHANIE TAYLOR

This holiday season, I am thankful to have a family who I know is there for me and cares for and loves me as I do them. This is my blood family and the UCF womens basketball team, both are my families. I am also thankful that I am getting a college education at a great school, I'm able to do something I love at the same time (basketball), and to be here on earth to see another day.
