By Thea Ryan – Staff Reporter

Fallon Andriolas is a senior captain of the Jonathan Law girls basketball team which currently has a record of 13-5. Advocate staff reporter Thea Ryan interviewed Fallon Andriolas, who recently scored her 1000th career point, about her basketball career.

Thea Ryan: How is the team doing so far this season?

Fallon Andriolas: So far the team is doing pretty well regardless of the obstacles we’ve faced from injuries. As of right now, we are 13-5 with a home game in SCCs and we are pushing to get a home states game for the first round.

TR: Individually, how are you doing this season?

FA: Individually I think I am doing pretty well with the roles I have been assigned with, whether or not it’s in the post or at the guard position.

TR: What are your goals as a team for this season?

FA: As a team, our goals are to get as many home games as possible to help us get to the state championship at Mohegan Sun and win.

TR: How do you stay motivated and help motivate your teammates for success?

FA: I stay motivated because I know this is my last season playing so I have to put it all on the court. As a team we stay motivated by always doing our best to stay positive and pick each other up. A goal of ours before every game is earning a seed with a home game in states by winning, which is motivating to myself and the team because I don’t want senior night to be the last time us seniors play in our gym.

TR: What is your favorite memory from playing basketball?

FA: My favorite from playing basketball is the family atmosphere we have on our team. It’s been fun winning but everyone is very close and everyone feels comfortable with one another. Basketball has been the highlight of high school for me and it’s something I am really going to miss.
