Education is Anna Cameron's major goal, but she's making an impression on the basketball court at the same time. <\/p>\n
Cameron heads off from her Cambridge home this weekend for a second year at College of the Siskiyous in California. Should she repeat the success she had in her first year overseas, a scholarship appears likely. <\/p>\n
The small forward led her side in rebounding and was second in scoring as the Eagles reached the last 16 in their conference tournament. <\/p>\n
\"We lost just before the quarterfinals to a very good team that went on to make the top four,\" Cameron said. \"But to make the top 16 in the state, out of 120 teams, was really good.\" <\/p>\n
Cameron averaged 12.9 points per game throughout the season. She had four games of 20 points or more while shooting 54.6 per cent from the field. <\/p>\n
Those efforts earned her the title of Conference Freshman of the Year and she also made the All-Conference team fully justifying her decision last year to take the self-funded jump into the unknown. <\/p>\n
\"I really didn't know what to expect I just took a punt and it's been so great.\" <\/p>\n
Cameron said the standard of play was higher than what she has played in New Zealand \"maybe comparable to, say, under-21 representative basketball\". <\/p>\n
Not surprisingly, her form has drawn interest from other colleges and she pondered making a switch, but decided to play her sophomore (second) year at Siskiyous first. <\/p>\n
\"I want to go to the other [East] coast so I'm looking for a good school to attend there, maybe a lower division one or a division two basketball school.\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
