Miranda Weslake's busy schedule leaves little room for much outside of sports and school, but that's the way the Beaufort Academy sophomore likes it.
Weslake, averaging more than 18 points per game for the Eagles basketball team, also plays for a travel soccer team out of Charleston. She practices twice a week with the soccer team and travels about once a month to play in tournaments.
She misses some basketball practices but makes the games. She hopes to continue playing basketball in addition to soccer.
"Sometimes the stress gets kind of hard to handle on top of school and everything and trying to keep my grades up," Weslake said. "But normally, I just sleep when I can and try to get tons of rest."
Despite the madness of her schedule, Weslake set aside a few minutes this week for The Beaufort Gazette and The Island Packet and our two-minute drill.

Normally it's strawberries with sugar all over them and iced coffee. Favorite postgame meal? Chocolate milk is good. And normally some kind of fruit or whatever I'm in the mood for.
