Arbor View softball senior outfielder Breya Hee said the team has become more connected in recent weeks.

Winning helps with that.

The Aggies are on a four-game winning streak entering Tuesday and Hee has played a big role in it.

She went 3-for-4 with a double and six RBIs to help Arbor View defeat Green Valley 15-0 on April 24. She was named Nevada Preps Girls Athlete of the Week for her efforts.

“I was just trying to focus on bringing whatever I could, doing whatever I can to help the team win the game,” Hee said. “Whatever the weak spots were is where I tried to hit it.”

Let’s get to know this week’s girls athlete of the week. (Note: Answers have been edited for clarity and length.)

Nevada Preps: Who’s a softball player you look up to and try to model your game after?

Hee: My favorite softball player is Aliyah Andrews. She used to play at Louisiana State. She is an amazing outfielder. She’s spectacular. She flies everywhere. Her slapping is incredible. When I find drills, it’s always from her.

NP: If you weren’t playing softball, what sport would you be playing?

Hee: I’d probably be playing soccer or volleyball. I like soccer because it’s outside. And volleyball, it’s just a sport that I’d have an interest in. I used to play soccer when I was 6-years-old, but then I moved to softball.

NP: Do you have any pregame rituals or game-day superstitions that you follow?

Hee: I always put my left sock on first. And I always have to listen to “Hit ‘Em Up” by Tupac (Shakur) before a game. I have a pregame playlist, all the songs that get me hyped and ready. And I always try to eat some sugar so I have a lot of energy before the game.

NP: What’s been your favorite memory in your softball playing career thus far?

Hee: Playing in the Colorado Sparklers or any of the tournaments I’ve been in, it’s an amazing experience. Recently, this past Faith Lutheran win we had (on April 17). We were in the top of the seventh inning and we were down by two runs and my hit to center field brought in two runs.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – When you think of curling, you might think of a rather unusual sport that’s really popular in Canada, but it enjoys a growing number of players in the U.S. as well.

Las Vegas too seeing an increasing number of enthusiasts. So much so, the local curling club had to get itself a full-time, sport-dedicated facility.

“We had such a demand for our curling activities that we had to leave where we were renting because we couldn’t get enough time, but now we’re full-time here,” shares Curl Vegas President Brad Whitlock. “We’re thrilled, we’re absolutely thrilled. We’re able to offer lessons to all kinds of people who couldn’t get to us before. That includes youths and seniors. We even have a wheelchair program that we’re wanting to implement.”

The new facility won’t open until Thursday, but this weekend some folks got a sneak peek at the south Valley center. For some it was the first time playing a sport that dates back centuries.

“It’s a 600 year old sport that has its roots in Scotland, but of course it’s evolved from those days. Very popular in Canada, they have more than million curlers up there,” says Whitlock.

“It’s a sport that you can play for an hour to two hours, and do a full game that way, so it doesn’t take a lot of investment of time. But it’s also good exercise,” he shares. “It’s a little deceiving, but it’s a real sport. You get a workout when you play.”

And, Whitlock says it’s an easy sport to learn, without a lot of equipment.

“I think people are just looking for experiences, and curling is a great experience. (2:03) It’s friendly, it’s a fun sport, you can learn it quickly, it doesn’t cost a lot of money. You can come out and you can learn it and you can start playing in a league within a week.”

The facility will hold it’s grand opening Thursday, May 2 at 5:30, with the first league playing that night at seven.

You can learn more about curling, sign up for lessons, or join a league on the Curl Vegas website.
