A message from Sabrina's Parents:
Many of you know that we chose to educate our twin daughters using two different educational methods; Selena attends Weeki Wachee High School and Sabrina is home schooled via Highland Academy and plays basketball for the Weeki Wachee girls varsity team.
Our daughters are now Seniors and preparing to graduate high school this year. The girls are very different and are once again dividing and conquering in pursuit of their own paths. While Selena will remain at Weeki Wachee and graduate with the rest of the 2019 Hornets, our daughter Sabrina will be leaving the Weeki Wachee basketball team and trying out for the girl's basketball team at Central High School this year.
We are choosing to speak out about our daughter Sabrina’s new path before assumptions are made among her friends, family, teammates and the assistant coaches as to the reasons behind her decision. We hope that in the last three years you have come to know that our family respects and appreciates varsity Coach Michael Munro. Coach Munro gives much more time, money and emotional support to the Lady Hornets themselves and the girl's basketball program at Weeki Wachee High School than his job description mandates. He genuinely cares about each of his players and supports them in their educational and athletic endeavors on and off the Weeki Wachee court.
The majority of the girl's varsity team has played and practiced together over the last three years. The girls are teammates, some having played together since middle school but they are also friends. During the season, they spend just as much or more time with each other than they do with their own families.
The choice Sabrina made was a difficult one, to leave her friends, her team, and her coach all at once in her senior year, it takes courage but also determination. Sabrina desires to coach basketball, that’s where her heart lies and that is where her goals are set. With each new experience, she grows, becomes better as a player and learns not only plays and positions but is discovering how to relate to people of different skills sets and personalities, how to talk to them, how to work with them and will eventually learn how to teach them. By moving forward, stepping out of the shadows of her teammates, leaving what was comfortable and easy, she is challenging herself to be better. By continuing to put in the work someday, soon, she will be worthy of the title Coach.
As a family, we will continue to support Weeki Wachee and all the students that we have come to know and love and hope that whether you agree with Sabrina’s decision or not that you continue to support her in her efforts.
