QUICK Q&A:  ALEXIS BOYD-LOCKETT, SIMLEY

The best movie I've seen in the past year? "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2."

Three songs I never skip on my iPod: "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes; "Work Hard Play Hard" by Wiz Khalifa; and anything by Nicki Minaj.

What are your three favorite apps? Snapchat; Instagram; Twitter.

Three words or phrases my friends or teammates might use to describe me? Weird/silly/goofy; outgoing; intense.

What is your favorite pregame meal? Subway. I have to have it or I feel that I won't perform at my best.

At my first varsity practice, I felt ... nervous, anxious, excited, all at the same time.

How do you balance school and sports during the year? I have to stay very disciplined, and use my time wisely.

If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? Longer basketball season and a better way of determining teams for playoffs.

In 10 years, I hope I'm ... employed in the field I'm most interested in, which is elementary education. I love kids!

Do you have a secret talent -- and if so, what is it? Writing poetry.

 

What is the best sports advice you ever received? The best advice I have ever gotten was from my dad. He said: "Leave it all on the floor." Meaning, play hard and after the game have a feeling of knowing I did everything to the best of my ability, knowing I played my part as a teammate.
