Thank You Mariasa

Dear Marissa,

I just want to take a moment to thank you, sincerely and from the heart

You were the very first person who truly saw what I was building with girls basketball. You didn’t just see it, you believed in it. In me. And that belief turned into action when you partnered with me and helped make us the very first Under Armour sponsored girls team, long before there was even a circuit.

That kind of support means more than words can fully capture. You backed the vision before it was fully visible to others, and that’s something I’ll never forget. Your trust, your partnership, and your leadership helped lay the foundation for everything that’s come after. You showed up physically and as a mentor.

Thank you for being a pioneer, a supporter, and a true game, changer. I’m forever grateful.

With appreciation and respect,

Lonnie Harrell
