Kyra Coleman
What she did: Coleman is the Capital District's leading scorer, and the Springers needed every one of her points last week. After the Springers' starters sat out a victory over Armstrong, she scored 21 points and had 11 rebounds and nine steals in a 78-77 nondistrict win over Meadowbrook. She produced 29 points (25 in the second half and overtime), 10 rebounds and seven steals in a victory over Hanover. Age: 16 Three words your friends would use to describe you: "Piece of work." Strengths: "Intensity, defense, scoring." Toughest opponent other than yourself: "My dad. We go at it." I'm working to improve: "Ballhandling; consistency on free throws." Favorite food: Captain Crunch cereal. Favorite candy: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Best sports memory: "Winning the state championship [AAU Xplosion] as a 10 year old. We were down eight points and won with less than 10 seconds remaining." Also on that team were Jazmin Pitts of Cosby and Alyssa Frye and Andrea Hobbs of Thomas Dale. Biggest challenge: "Staying in control of everything I do." If she had one wish: "To be four years older." Possession you can't do without: "The NV2 [cell phone]." What's on your iPod: "Jay Z, Li'l Wayne, Beyonce." Facebook or MySpace: MySpace. One thing about you most people don't know: "I sing in the shower." Top priority: "Becoming the best I can be for myself and my team."
