03 Feb 2024 Blyss Miller – Cabot (501 Basketball Team 2024)
Cabot hasn’t missed a beat since last year’s Class 6A state semifinals appearance.
Behind senior guard Blyss Miller, the Lady Panthers erupted to a 13-0 start this season and appear to be in prime position to contend for a championship ring in 2024.
“The main goal is to go all the way, and we plan to get there by playing the game the right way,” she said. “This means working harder than anyone else, especially defensively, which will result in success offensively. As long as we continue to work hard in practice and work together, we can achieve our goals.”
As a returning starter, Miller has earned the confidence of her teammates and coaching staff and carries high expectations in her senior season.
“Blyss is the epitome of a selfless teammate,” Cabot Head Coach Jay Cook said. “She’s not worried about personal accolades or who is getting the recognition. She just wants to win and for her teammates to be successful, and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that happens.”
In addition to basketball, Miller plays tennis and is involved with National Honor Society and FCA at Cabot High School and gives back to the 501 through volunteer work at Cabot United Methodist Church.
“Blyss is well-liked and respected by her peers because of her work ethic in the classroom,” Cook said. “She sets a great example for her classmates and shows them that success doesn’t happen just by chance, but that it takes hard work to get the desired results.”
