grade. She was involved in many different sports, but basketball became her favorite.
"I had a very dedicated high school coach, John Collins, who taught me to love the game," Reves said.
Reves left her home state of Colorado to pursue her basket球 career at Wichita State, but when the program did not live up to her expectations, she transferred to Kansas.
"It wasn't just about scholarships and money." Reyes said
splips and money, Reves said. The program has proved to be just what Revs needed. Last season, she was the team's second leading scoreer, averaging 10.4 points per game
and scoring in double figures 20 times.
Reves said that it was her dedication to her teammates that pushed her to work hard this summer.
Reves is doing her part to make a commitment to the team.
"We have an awesome team this season," Reves said. "I have extreme confidence in what we can do. We can accomplish anything if everyone commits. The possibilities are limitless."
"She has tremendous intensity and plays hard," said coach Marian Washington. "It's important to have someone like her on the team."

Ram makes strong debut
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIIS — When St. Louis Rams center Mike Gruttadauria was at Central Florida and the quarterback went down, he just knew the team was in big trouble.
He got exactly the opposite feeling from untested Rams quaterback Kurt Warner, who threw for 309 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start Sunday.
"The second-teamer came in and he was a freshman and he just was tripping over his words," Gruttadauria said. "Kurt, he comes in like he's been running this offense and we don't have anything to worry about. Business as usual."
Warner led NFL Europe, which has a 10-game season, with 2,101 yards passing and 15 touchdowns for the Amsterdam Admirals in 1998. Before that, he amassed 10,164 yards and 183 touchdowns in three seasons for the Iowa Barnstormers of the Arena Football League. Before that, he
was the Gateway Conference player of the year at Northern Iowa.
But before this season he had thrown only 11 NFL passes, in a mop-up role in last year's finale, and he got only one preseason start to get ready after Trent Green went out with a season-end knee surgery.
After the opener, he's not such an unknown anymore. Warner got a game ball and tears of joy from coach Dick Vermeil, whose gamble not to sign a veteran backup before training camp seems to have paid off.
"His overall composure and awareness in all phases of what he was doing was far better than anybody could expect." Vermelh said yesterday. "There are a lot of quarterbacks that were first-round picks that have been given all the opportunities, all the coaching, all the money, all the everything, and they're on their third team — and they're still going to fail.
And that humility. The first thing Warner said to his teammates after the game was an apology of sorts. He told them he'd get better.
"Because they don't have that composure, that poise under pressure."
"I'm not going to read too much into this one because I know I made some mistakes out there," said Warner, who was intercepted twice — one was not his fault — and lost a fumble. "But it does give you a lot of confidence to go out and get a victory, and to make some plays. I always believed I could be here and that I could do this."
Warner, 28, admitted to a few anxious moments after Green was injured Aug. 28 and the job fell into his lap. He said recently he's been waking up in the middle of the night and thinking about what he'd do on third-and-five with the blitz coming.
He said the anxiety vanished the night before, and take it from Gruttadauria, the hands that reached down for the ball were not shaking at any time.
"He has that innate confidence that guys just respect," he said.
Marino crashes Elway's party in Monday night opener
The Associated Press
DENVER — John Elway wouldn't have had it any other way.
Griese not enough for Miami
in someone had to spoil his retirement party, it might as well be Dan Marino, the last quarrel I have that
terback left from illustrious class of 1983
With from the special teams, who blocked a punt and a field goal to set up 10 points, the M
Marino, who was 15-of-23 for 215 yards as he began what might be his final quest for an elusive Super Bowl ring, had touchdowns on a 12-yard pass to rookie fullback Rob Konrad and a 4-yard pass to O.J. McDuffie.
It also put a damper on the halftime ceremony in which Elway's name and number were placed in the Broncos' Ring of Fame.
Dolphins beat Denver 38-21 Monday night. The loss spoiled Brian Griese's coming out party as Elway's successor in the Broncos' first game in pursuit of a third straight Super Bowl title.
Karim Abdul-Jabbar and another rookie, J.J. Johnson, had 1-yard touchdown runs and Olindo Mare added a 37-yard field goal as the Dolphins ended Denver's 24-game regular season home winning streak that extended back to December 1996.
front of Bubby Brister by coach Mike Shanahan to start in Elway's place, wasn't bad, finishing 24-of-40 for 270 yards and throwing touchdown passes of 61, 11 and 4 yards to Ed McCaffrey, the last coming with 34 seconds to
Griese, selected in
play. He also was
play. He also was sacked with about four minutes to play by Rich Owens and fumbled Jason Taylor recovering in the end
zone for the Dolphins' final score.
But his arm didn't present the fear factor Elway's did. Late in the first half, for example, Griese underthrew a wide-open McCaffrey, who had to come back for the ball and dropped it.
This allowed Miami to play eight men close to the line of scrimmage to shut down Terrell Davis, who finished with 61 yards on 19 carries.
Griese started off like another Elway, hitting McCaffrey between Brock Marion and Shawn Wooden for a 61-yard score in the first series of the game.
The Broncos held their 7-1 lead into the second quarter and were about to go ahead 10-0, but Lorenzo Bromell blocked Jason Elam's 44-yard field goal attempt and Terrell Buckley returned it 43 yards to the Denver 36. Four plays later, Abdul-Jabbar took it into the end zone to tie the score.
Then Marino took the
