Mikayla Ferenz and Taylor Pierce are both thriving at Idaho now, but both said their families have been a large motivating factor along the way. Ferenz said she has always known she wanted to play basketball in college.
“Both my parents are basketball coaches,” Ferenz said. “So it was kind of in the cards for me to play basketball.”
She said it wasn’t just her parents that pushed her to want to be better in basketball.
“I have a twin sister so we used to go head-to-head all the time,” she said. “I think that has kind of been my motivation too since I am really competitive.
