Courtney Ekmark keeps a childhood photo of herself and Sun Devils women's basketball coach Charli Turner Thorne from one of Turner Thorne's summer basketball camps.
"I was half her size then," Ekmark said, laughing.
They grow so fast.
In the 15 or so years that have passed since that photo, Ekmark has helped lead Phoenix St. Mary's High School to three straight Division I state titles, been named Arizona's 2013 Gatorade Player of the Year, won two NCAA titles at Connecticut, and transferred back to ASU where she played last season and is now preparing for her senior year.
