Tuesday night was Senior Night at CC Winn High School, and Coach
This week our Player Of The Week Feature is a most interesting one because it features a young player from Eagle Pass who played lights out against one of our most
intense rivals (Del Rio, where he dropped 21 points on the Rams), enjoys playing defense and hustling on every play, but it also features a new tradition for this column, a student
assistant who not only is a valuable asset to the team, she highlights the fact that while she wants to inspire the team, she admires an NBA player for citing his favorite bible verses
on his game shoes.
It was such a pleasure conversing with them both, and we will be following their careers closely upon commencement - which will be next year for one and two years down the line
for the other.
When asked about Eagle Point Guard Fernando Chong, Eagle Coach Neto Reyes had this to say, “Chong is a great example of a kid coming in and trusting the process. He is very fun to
coach. He comes day in and day out ready to give you all he has. He’s a special kid that has a bright future ahaead of
him.”
About Maverick Student Assistant Theodet Segura, Coach Paulo Valero said, ”She is our manager. She’s been in our program for three years. Her sister was manager for four years previously.
When she graduates, she has two sisters coming to CC Winn and one of them will take over. That’s twelve years of managing our program in her family.”
First up is CC Winn Junior Student Assistant Theodet Segura
Player Name: Theodet Segura
Player # 17
Player Position: Student Assistant Team: CCW
Parents names: Cristina and Ruben.
Who do you consider to be your biggest influences? (Could be your parents, but also include a professional basketball player or national figure) My sister America. She’s been so successful and she’s never
been afraid of anything. Whenever she wants something, she goes for it. My mom loves me unconditionally. My dad is the best person in the world. In the NBA, it would have to be Stephen Curry, I
know he’s very religious. I heard that he writes his favorite verses on his game shoes and I think that’s really cool.
What are your goals this season? To be a motivation for them (the team) and to help them out in whatever they need, for them to know that they can count on me.
Who's your favorite NBA team? The Lakers.
Who’s your favorite player? Steph Curry.
College team? I don’t really pay attention to college teams. I would say Texas State because I want to go there.
What's your favorite play and why? (Give me a good long one) I don’t really know any of our plays. I wish I did. I know the names of them but I don’t know how they work. We have
Luke, Dragon, Thunder, X and a new one that he was teaching them recently, but I forgot the name of it.
What do you consider to be your season highlight so far? Why? My favorite game this season was against Somerset because it was a tight game and we were going overtime, but Jairo
saved us with a last second buzzer beater.
What’s your favorite movie? Lilo and Stitch. I’ve always liked it since I was little, so I’ve re-watched it a thousand times.
What’s on your Ipod? All types, but mostly R&B, Hip Hop and Country. I like Khalid, I like Beyonce, Brooks and Dunn. I listen to all types of music, if I like it I’ll put it on my playlist.
What are your plans after Graduation? Go to Texas State to continue my education.
Major? Radiation Therapy.
What does it take for a basketball team to be successful? I think dedication and patience because sometimes you might not be as good as you want to be, but you need to put trust in
the process and everything gets better.
Finally, give me some advice to a seventh grader playing basketball for the first time. To never give up, continue to practice. Don’t ever let anyone tell you you’re not good
enough. Put in your shots, have trust in yourself and keep working hard.
Next up is Sophomore Point
Guard Fernando Chong of the
Eagle Pass Eagles.
Player Name: Fernando
Chong Player # 3
Player Position: Point Guard
Team: Ep
Parents names:
Cirenia and Antonio.
Who do you consider to be
your biggest influences?
(Could be your parents, but
also include a professional
basketball player or national
figure)
My parents. They’ve always
pointed me in the right direction.
They’ve always pushed
me to be the best that I can
even though sometimes I don’t
feel as though I’m doing my
best. In the NBA, I would have
to say John Wall. I look up to
him because I feel that he’s an
amazing player and he’s a
great example for his team as a
leader, as a communicator and
as a great example to follow.
What are your goals this season?
To become a better player
overall, to help my teammates
become better and I would
also like to play college ball.
And to become a better man
myself.
Who's your favorite NBA
team?
The San Antonio Spurs.
Who’s your favorite player?
John Wall.
College team?
The Kentucky Wildcats.
What's your favorite play and
why? (Give me a good long
one)
Four Out Smash. I like it
because everyone is running
forward, so when you’re on
the fast break, it’s an easy way
to get points.
What do you consider to be
your season highlight so far?
Why?
Me communicating with my
teammates, playing defense
when we need it the most and
hustling every single play.
Against Del Rio I played
defense, hustled whenever my
teammates were down and I
ended up scoring 21 points
that game.
What’s your favorite movie?
Creed II. It shows you that
even though you’re at the top,
you can hit rock bottom and it
also shows the heart you have
to have to overcome adversity.
What’s on your Ipod?
I really like rap songs that
actually have a meaning to
them like NF and Eminem.
Those two artists had a really
tough time growing up and
through their music they really
show you their life and what
they had to go through to get
to where they are, so they
encourage other people to not
give up.
What are your plans after
Graduation?
Hopefully make it to the NBA
one day and complete my education
as a financial advisor.
Major?
Business Administration.
What does it take for a basketball
team to be successful?
It takes commitment, heart
from everybody and compassion
for playing for one another.
Finally, give me some advice
to a seventh grader playing
basketball for the first time.
Keep working, because there’s
always a lot of talent above
you. Don’t give up if adversity
comes straight at you and
always hold yourself close to
God because He created you
and will always keep you in
check.
