Rising Tide: Remy Puou
January 25, 2010 • written by Austin Gatdula
Sporting the nicknames “Plankton” and “Big Body,“ and standing at a whopping six feet, freshmen Remy Puou is one of the three freshmen on Moreau’s girl’s varsity basketball team.
A mixture of Hawaiian, Japanese and Mexican, with a whooping eight years of basketball under her belt, Puou is a perfect addition to the team. “I’m very honored to be on the team and I love my teammates,” Puou said.
The shortage in woman’s senior basketball players opened up a venue for underclassmen to try out. “I was surprised that I was picked for the varsity team,” Puou said. Having a team consisting of mostly underclassmen brings many positive aspects to the plate.
“Being young, Remy learns from her mistakes and she follows directions very well, and this helps in making the team as strong as it is,” teammate, freshmen Kaitlin Leguidleguid explained. One rebound is all it takes to change the tide of a game. Being a “big” (as she explained) Puou is responsible for making important offensive rebounds and putting it back up for a worthy two points.
Being showered with all the love and support from her teammates, Puou has set high expectations and aspirations during her time here playing for Moreau. “My goals are to do my best and to grow as a better person but not only on the court but off the court!” Puou said.
