During the half-time of the Women of Troy basketball game vs the Lady Bruins, Trojan Candy went down to the courtside to see good friend and USC Women's Basketball alumna Kristen Simon. I finally could interview Kristen! She was glad to see me and obliged to my interview.
Kristen told me that she is playing professionally now in Battipaglia, Italy. Battipaglia is forty miles out of Naples. She said that it is very strenuous to play professionally....she has two hard practices a day. Kristen said that she is "beginning to speak a little Italian." Kristen's favorite food is, coincidentally, pasta. Her hobbies are writing, relaxing and hanging out with friends. Kristen likes all types of music. Her favorite movie is "The Notebook." It was so nice to visit with Kristen. She told me that she is leaving for Italy on Tuesday, January 1st.
Happy New Year, Kristen, and keep Fighting On!
Right after I took Kristen's individual picture for my interview, two children walked up to her to visit. Trojan Candy took their picture. They were Elijah and Zander Jimenez, current player Minyon Moore's cousins.
At the end of the Football Awards Banquet, Trojan Candy was standing almost next to Porter Gustin. Why? I was determined to interview him. And I did!
My first question was, "What are your hobbies?" Porter said that he likes to lift, hunt and fish." His favorite food is chicken breast. As for music, Porter likes all kinds of music. Porter's favorite movie is "Saving Private Ryan." Trojan Candy was lucky to interview Porter, because he was completely surrounded by a hoard of fans just as I told him, "Thank you." FIGHT ON, Porter!
With that, Trojan Candy says, "Good night!"
