![]() South Carolina basketball continues their quest for an undefeated season and a 3rd national championship. Hailey Van Lith simply couldn't guard Fulwiley, and the Columbia native made the Tigers pay for leaving her in that matchup. Fulwiley was named the SEC Tournament MVP as she scored 24 points in just 17 minutes against LSU. The Gamecocks held on to win the game, and the team's best player on Sunday afternoon was true freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley. Johnson faced no repercussions outside of her initial foul. ![]() Some pushing and shoving ensued, and a fan (reportedly Johnson's brother) got involved before order was restored.Ĭardoso was ejected with a "fighting disqualification" (a penalty that usually comes with a suspension), 3 more Gamecocks were sent off for leaving the bench area, and LSU's entire bench was ejected. Instead, LSU guard Flau'jae Johnson grabbed Fulwiley by the waist, intentionally fouling her and spinning her around, drawing the ire of some Gamecock players.Īs players passed by Johnson (with words for her, no doubt), Johnson shoved Gamecock forward Ashlyn Watkins, and USC post player Kamilla Cardoso retaliated with a big shove that sent the LSU sophomore to the floor. With the Gamecocks up 7 with 2 minutes to go, that lead was about to grow to 9 as MiLaysia Fulwiley had a breakaway opportunity. None of us know what the limits are of what we can do.South Carolina basketball won its 8th SEC Tournament championship in 10 years on Sunday, but because of other things that happened, the ridiculous run of success for the Gamecocks has been an afterthought to most. It’s important to cultivate a positive (mindset), to believe in yourself, and your own possibilities. “I love this job because I love being able to unlock students’ belief in themselves and what they can make happen,” Carr said.Ĭarr gave a piece of advice that she wants students to carry: “The voice inside your head is important. “I love the different kinds of people who are here as students and the passion that they bring.” “I love this community and its energy,” Carr said. ![]() Her favorite part of the BHS community is the students. It’s also a really nice feeling that makes you want to do it again,” Carr said. “I feel that it gives you a lot of faith in yourself, other people, and collaboration. “There’s very little research that you have to do now in order to be exposed to new music,” Carr said.Įxplaining what drew her to this job, Carr said, “One of the appeals of the performing arts is that each performance is its own little mountain that you climb … (Cast and crew) don’t know if we’re gonna make it, and then everyone pulls together, and it’s a little miracle.” She elaborated on how this affects the community. It was very different then: when she started she used cassette tapes to play music for her students. She started her current position at BHS 24 years ago. She also likes to spend time with family, cook and bake, garden, and swim.Īt UC Davis, she had no idea a job like her current position at BHS existed because she didn’t have one at her own high school. She was in a piece titled “Water in the Kettle” where they performed at Rhythmix in Alameda. Most recently, she danced with a company called MoTo which focuses on body percussion and songs based in Appalachian arts. This (was) revolutionary for me.” Carr brings this attitude into her teaching.Īfter time at the College of Marin, she attended UC Davis as a visual arts major, studying drawing and painting and taking dance classes.Ĭarr continues to dance in her free time. She said, “At the beginning of the class, the teacher said to everyone, take a big breath in and exhale, and I thought, ‘oh my god.’” It was something different and new from her prior dance experiences.Įxpanding on these differences, apparent when comparing ballet and modern dance, she said, “Ballet is so controlled and about not showing your ‘human-ness’ you’re an ethereal being … Modern dance is all about being connected to yourself, to your breath, and to the earth. “I knew people who went to Berkeley High (School), and it seemed to be a very vibrant world that I was curious about,” Carr said.Ĭarr graduated high school early, and later had her first experience in a modern dance class. As a kid, she always had an eye across the bay towards Berkeley. Outside of school, she took ballet classes, but at her high school there was no dance program. Growing up in Marin County, Carr went to Redwood High School. Linda Carr holds a multitude of roles at Berkeley High School - the Beginning Modern/Jazz Dance, Dance Production, and Advanced Dance teacher choreographer for the play Urinetown and leader for the visual and performing arts department at BHS.
