text: can a girl from a small town make it big in college basketball? i am a sophomore in high school and people around here have faith in me, but i mean, some scout from duke probably isnt going to hear about me. help! you can make it, but i'm afraid the hope is a minimum.  first of all, your team needs to make some noise, and you need to be in the paper (:d).  if your team doesn't make noise, than duke (the greatest basketball college ever woot woot!) will not even know you exist (unfortunately).  your job is to get the team pumped up, kick some serious *** and be a beast on the court.  maybe than, will the coaches at duke see you :d  a little time at big time camps (maybe they have one at duke) or a different large school will help (if you have the money).
