Scoring Threat: Freshman guard Ganette Chism is leading the Lady Sharks in scoring, averaging 19.6 points per game. She is also contributing 4.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game.
OMAR NEGRIN \/ THE REPORTER<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ganette Chism has been a scoring machine for the Lady Sharks<\/span><\/a> this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tenacious freshman scored 32 points in a game against Hillsborough Community College on Dec. 15. She is leading the team in scoring, averaging 19.6 points per game and is also contributes 4.8 assists and 4.9 rebounds per game for the Lady Sharks, who are 13-8. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter reviewing her style of play and the potential, I knew she would be a good fit in our system,\u201d said Lady Sharks head coach Susan Summons. \u201cAnd if she really embraced the role given to her, she could really explode, and that’s exactly what she has done.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The 5-foot-9-inch guard was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois, where she attended Simeon High School. Chism played varsity basketball her junior and senior years averaging 8.3 points and 3.5 assists per game. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chism first found her love for basketball in her own backyard. She recalls watching her older brother, RJ Rochelle, playing with his friends recreationally. It made her want to join in.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I asked my brother to let me play with them he told me no,\u201d Chism said. \u201cHe wouldn\u2019t let me play with them so I went and learned on my own.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Chism knew as soon as she began playing on a team in the fourth grade that basketball would be her top priority.
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cOnce I joined the team I was doing real good,\u201d Chism said. \u201cI was excelling at it so I kept doing it.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite enjoying her time in Miami with the Lady Sharks, Chism misses Chicago and her close-knit family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBeing so far from home, I\u2019m adjusting to everything,\u201d Chism said. \u201cI talk to my family everyday. I facetime my mom all day, sometimes she even calls me when I\u2019m in class.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But when Chism, who intends to become a physical therapist for a professional sports team when her basketball career is over, is on the court, all is well. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s very passionate about the game, you can tell,\u201d said sophomore forward Cheah Rael-Whitsitt<\/span><\/a>. \u201cShe still has some growing to do, but once she gets there she\u2019s going to be a great player.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lady Sharks\u2019 next game will be on the road, versus Palm Beach State College on Jan.30 at 5 p.m.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
