You should.

Destiny has spent four years on the Bremen High School Girls Varsity Basketball Team and is a key player. She's also on the hunt for an All-Conference player title as this will be her last chance to achieve it before she graduates and then heads off to college.

She says confidently, "I think I'm going to get it this year."

When crowned with the All-Conference player title, it means the athlete has been selected as one of the best players of that conference. In this case, Hughes is looking for recognition in the South Suburban Blue Conference which includes Hillcrest, Oak Forest, Tinley Park, Lemont, Thornton Fractional South, and Thornton Fractional North high schools.

According to MaxPreps, the national average of points per game for high school female basketball players is roughly 4.19. Hughes currently averages around 14 points per game.

Will she do it?

Only time will tell as South Suburban Girls Basketball All-Conference players have not been named yet.

The Braves Girls Basketball season did not go as planned this year with a 0-9 conference record, so the credit and recognition for Hughes would certainly help the Braves end the year on a high note.
