Through all of the trades that were going
on this year, I still feel that the Boston Celtics can take it all the way. They have a strong starting squad with Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce leading the way. They should be strong going into the playoffs.

Growing up in Rohnert Park, Loucks began participating in sports at a young age.
During high school, Loucks excelled in basketball and her collegiate path seemed clear.
