Houston Roundball Review Archive: October 18 2007 TK Starks: "gym rat"

Thursday, October 25, 2007

The few times I watched her play at Westfield High School, I had a good idea Takia Starks was a talented basketball player.

T.K. helped Westfield when the state championship her junior year.

This season, Starks will be a junior for the Texas A&M Aggies. She's not very vocal; but, T.K. doesn't need to be vocal. Her game speaks very loudly for her.

Last season Starks was named an All-Big 12 First Team selection. She was one of two Aggies to play and start in all 32 games last season. Starks averaged a team-leading 14.2 points per game which ranked eighth-best in the Big 12 Conference and she has made 32 career starts in league play.

I guess when you're "...a gym rat..." -- as Starks describes herself -- results like that should be expected.
