"I just started over," she said.
The Greyhounds lean on Metcalfe, but she said she has a lot to work on.
"I still got things I got to handle and work on, so I feel like just keep being that leader that I am to the babies," Metcalfe said. "I know they're going to feed off of it. So me keep feeding the ball to them and just being who I am. That'll really get us far."
It got her far in a recent game.
Metcalfe scored 63 points, one point shy of the Wisconsin state record.
"I hustled, the team hustled," she said. "Alright, we're not losing this game. So then I told the babies, I huddled them up. I'm like, we gotta go get this dub. Yes. Afterward, when they mentioned it to me, I was like, whoa. Like, I didn't even know I scored 63 points. But knowing that I did it was it an honor."
