Trinity Webster grew up as many do in small-town Oklahoma: playing pickup basketball in her driveway. Unlike many others, however, she had a worthy sparring partner, and they’re both better today for it.
“My cousin, Chez [South] has been one of my biggest inspirations throughout the years,” Webster said. “We were raised as if we were brother and sister, so he’s always been one of my best friends.”
Webster had a remarkable freshman year, totaling 370 points, 142 boards, 75 steals, 63 assists and 66 3-pointers. Along with South, one year her senior and a standout for the CHS boys team, she made the Three Rivers All-Conference team.
“Not many freshmen get that award, so being able to get an award only a select few get, was truly special,” Webster said. “Our conference had a lot of tough competition, so being up there with some of the best girls in our conference is something I was proud of myself for.”
Thanks to their combined success, Webster’s and South’s family have two years of exciting double-headers in the coming years. Though they compete with one another, they always find ways to sharpen each others’ games.
“We always push each other be playing a simple game of ‘gotcha’ of one-on-ones, or simply comparing our stats all season,” Webster said, “however, we are always the first ones there for each other’s success.”
Webster’s success sustains outside of basketball. She also serves as class president and is active in National Honors Society.
“I aspire to be a leader like my senior teammate, Zori Wilson. She has grown so much as a leader and is always extremely vocal and always has the right thing to say,” Webster said. “After the freshman season I had, I have a lot of expectations from my team, and I will continue to prove with my actions that hard work, respect and dedication lead to success on the court.”
After high school, Webster plans to play at the collegiate level and eventually become a neurosurgeon.
