Getting to know: Reagan Hurst

Every student-athlete has a story, details about themselves and their background that extend beyond just the playing field and athletics.  Throughout the summer, we will take a look at the members of the Tennessee Tech women's basketball team and get to know more about them, the student-athletes who are representing not just their home communities, but also the University, Cookeville and the Upper Cumberland as they don the purple and gold. We asked the team to provide 10 facts about themselves that they want you, the fans, to know about them.

Today, we feature Reagan Hurst, a redshirt freshman from Bloomington Springs, who will see her first action on the court this season for the Golden Eagles. Hurst was a highly decorated player at Upperman High School wining several district and region titles, and captured the TSSAA state title in 2018. She became the school's fifth 2,000-point scorer and garnered several impressive accolades during her senior campaign as a Lady Bee. Hurst's athleticism and versatility was on full display in high school as she was also a star player on the softball field.
