Great things are happening in Albany's
public schools
 Emia
Willingham-Hurst
Albany High School
Junior Emia Willingham-Hurst started playing basketball for Albany
High School as an eighth-grader; last year, as a sophomore, she was
MVP of the Lady Falcon varsity squad that earned the first Big 10
title in school history.
Emia has a special presence both on and off the court. She takes pride in
her basketball prowess, but academics come first. She sacrifices
practice time to get extra help, finish labs and attend review
classes. These types of mature decisions come easy to her because she
wants to be a pediatrician when she graduates from college.
What people don’t always see are the countless hours of her own time
that Emia takes to improve her game. Her passion to improve drives her
to put in the extra effort. She is an extraordinary young woman.
