08 Feb 2023 Cameron Christie – Perryville (501 Basketball Team 2023)

Cameron Christie will never forget drenching her coach with water after Perryville earned a berth to the regional tournament last season.

As last year’s leading scorer for the Lady Mustangs, it’s one of many memories the All-Conference guard has made on the court over her 11-year career. This season, the junior has one goal in mind: taking her team to the top. 

“My personal goals for this season are to improve my game and contribute to my team as best as possible,” Christie said. “Our team goal is to make it to State by working as a team and trusting each other every play.”

For Christie, hard work pays off. With two official NCAA Division III offers already in tow and more likely on the way, the sky’s the limit for the junior star.

“Cammi is a great shooter who can score from anywhere,” Perryville head coach Troy Denn said. “She’s also a gym rat. She knows what 1,000 shots feels like. With countless hours and shots in the gym, she is the hardest-working person I’ve been around.”

Christie spends her free time training and mentoring the next generation of Lady Mustangs and hopes to be remembered for her work ethic and leadership.

“A life lesson I have learned from playing basketball is to have patience,” Christie said. “You have to wait and work for the outcome. Success doesn’t just come overnight. Always be kind to your teammates and always put God first.”
