Whiz Kid: Brittany Porter of Waukesha
Age: 18
School: Homeschooled
Accomplishment: Captain of the SWCHA Saints girls basketball team
Key to Awesomeness: Brittany has a very encouraging attitude and she pumps the girls up. She motivates the other players on the team as she leads the huddle. Brittany has stepped up this year on the basketball team as a true leader. In addition to Brittany's encouraging personality, she also gives it 100 percent on the court.
Off the court, Brittany volunteers her time at her church's coffee shop, which donates the proceeds to mission work. Mission work is not new to Brittany as she spent time in Indonesia while her parents served overseas.
Brittany also works part-time at Cousins Subs.
