Timeout with - Mariah Ferguson - GBB

Mariah Rae Ferguson, “Fergy” to her friends, is a sophomore at OHHS playing post on the JV basketball team wearing #21. The 5’8½” A/B student was born in Anacortes and has lived her entire life in Oak Harbor. She is the daughter of Rick, who works construction, and Roni, who works at OHMS. She has two brother – Marc, who graduated in 2005 and John, a junior at OHHS.

Mariah is a good student, and her favorite classes are English classes as she enjoys writing. Her favorite teacher has been Mrs. Morgan-Mueller at Oak Harbor Middle School. When asked why, Mariah said “She’s the bomb!”

In addition to basketball, Mariah likes to run, especially distance running. When asked why basketball, she said it was the intensity of the game, especially at the post position, that appealed to her. She feels the best part of her game is her support of her team and teammates, but also knows she needs to play smarter. Her basketball goal this year is to improve her post play, while her classroom goal is to keep on track.

His most memorable sports moment to date happened in middle school. Back in 7th grade, when Mr. Ronning was coaching the team, he said something really funny (she can’t really say exactly what it was), and was so funny Mariah and half the team were cracking up and could hardly play basketball! She has a very memorable life moment, and that was just over a year ago, when she stepped on a scale and found she had accomplished something many adults have tried to do and failed at – she lost 75 pounds.

Fergy loves all sports, but if there’s a NBA game on TV, she’s watching it. She’ll also watch golf from time to time. She enjoys listening to indy/underground music, her favorite movie is Old School, and she often watches One Tree Hill on TV.

After high school, Mariah is thinking of getting into some sort of professional writing gig, or perhaps interior decorating. If she got her dream job, she would do it in Greece, as there are a lot of places there where you can just get away from it all and find peace and quiet.

Something you probably didn’t know about Nate: While she may seem like a funny goofball on the outside, she’s actually very serious when it comes to the things that count.
