After averaging 11.4 points per game, 3.6 steals per game, and 2.5 defensive rebounds per game for the Bennington Bulldogs last season, senior Rori Miles was named to the all-league first team and all-state third team.
Miles is ready to finish her career off the right way and have one last time playing with some of her best friends.
“This season means everything to me,” Miles said. “I have grown up with and have been playing basketball with some of my closest friends since grade school. Once this season is over, I know it will be the last time I get to step on the court with them. I want to cherish every moment of this season and not take a minute of it for granted.”
The senior is known for her defense and driving ability, which opens up a lot of lanes for her and her teammates game in and out, but that is not the only thing she has on her mind this year.
Bennington is coming off of a season where they were 12-11. But with a lot of work put in during the offseason, the Bulldogs have much more to offer this season.
“My personal goal is to reach 1000 points for my career and average five steals a game,” Miles said. “The team’s goals are to win sub-state and make it to the state tournament.”
