"To call State College Area High School's Kyla Irwin a gym rat might be an understatement.
I love being in the gym," Irwin said prior to a recent Lady Little Lion basketball practice. "I really have a passion for it. I really have a desire to win."
Over the weekend, the Lady Little Lions captured the Kiwanis Holiday Basketball Classic. In the title game, the Lady Little Lions had to rally from an 18-8 deficit to defeat Burrell, 50-46. In the locker room at halftime, Irwin said that the coaching staff — Mom and Dad — had some choice words for the squad.
"I've never heard them yell like that," Kyla says with a smile.
She recently gave a verbal commitment to UConn, arguably the greatest dynasty in collegiate athletics. According to Irwin, it wasn't a hard decision.
"The atmosphere of the practices was great and the girls were so welcoming. I ate lunch with (the players) and I didn't feel like I was a burden sitting with them. They were asking me questions and I was telling them stories. It was just great chemistry. The campus is really nice. It's awesome," Kyla says.
