Mention the word basketball to Julia Ingler and her face lights up immediately.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant once said that, “Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.”

Perhaps no quote better describes Osceola High’s Montana Bass, the Osceola News-Gazette Girls Basketball Player of the Year, an honor she shares with Harmony’s Julia Ingler.

A 5-7 shooting guard/point guard, Bass overcame losing her home in a mid-January fire, but still managed to lead Osceola to a 21-7 record this season.

“It was a pretty horrible,” Bass says of the Jan. 10 fire.
