#45 Carissa Triplett

Position:  C
Height:  6'2
Year:  Senior
Varsity Letters:  1

2000-2001 Stats 

Points:  8.9

Rebounds:  5.1

Additional Info 

Carissa is an awesome defensive force in the post and swatted away 8 shots in her first game of the season.  She's a smart passer and creates lots of scoring opportunities for her teammates on the perimeter because she draws so much defensive attention.  Although Carissa is the biggest player on the Lady Bulldogs team, you will see her diving after loose balls like a 90-pound guard.  Carissa is being recruited by a number of Division I schools and may make a decision soon as to where she plans to go to college.

2001-2002Carissa has done a physical transformation.  She's lost 50 pounds and is in much better shape after a year of conditioning.  She has worked on her game and she will be a college player.  We're ranked sixth in the state in one poll.  I'd be happy if we were in the top 40 right now, but we're ranked up there because everybody knows we have Carissa and Alex.

2000-2001 Carissa is a transfer from Kentucky who everyone is talking about at CP.  She has started since seventh grade (that's legal in Kentucky) on her high school team.  She will only improve as the season progresses and we get her in top shape.  Carissa has fine post skills and strong size in the paint.  She is a nice girl attempting to adapt to the fast lane in Crown Point after coming from rural Kentucky, but she possesses a strong work ethic and she has had to work for all she has.
