Freshman guard Sybil Washington’s modest personality has masked her large skill set on the basketball court. Her “workmen-like” mentality has earned her invaluable accomplishments. Even before stepping foot on a college basketball court, Washington was able to make a name for herself by leading the Vandebilt Terriers to back to back state championship appearances. During a recent trip to an away game against Northwestern State, Washington made time for an interview.
