This week, journalism students had a chance to chat with Cash Gifford, a freshman on the Armorel junior high basketball team. With 11 years of experience, Cash’s passion for the game keeps him motivated. He admires Kyrie Irving and handles pressure by staying cool, calm, and collected. We can’t wait to watch all of the Tiger basketball teams in action this season! 🐯

Interview conducted by Promise McLendon, Lynlee Stewart, and Emily French.
