While most 13-year-olds were doing last-minute clothes shopping for the upcoming school year or enjoying the last few days swimming with their friends on Saturday, South Laurel seventh-grader Skeeter Mabe made a trip to Lexington for an unofficial visit to the University of Kentucky.
For those who don't know who Mabe is, you'll soon find out.
She's been touted as one of the top, if not the best, 13-year-old basketball players in the state while garnering attention from some of the best Division I schools in the country.
How she got to where she is today?
By putting in a lot of hard work, and dedication to the game she loves.
"Starting at a young age, and just continuing to practice, and develop my skill level," she said of her success so far on the hardwood. "I've been really lucky to have good travel and AAU coaches, who have put me in a position to succeed, and to be noticed by college coaches."
Mabe admitted to being a tad bit nervous when she and her family left to make the trip to Lexington.
"I was very nervous heading up, and also in the days before the visit," she said. "I was nervous thinking they may ask me questions I didn't know how to answer. I was really scared of not doing the right thing or embarrassing myself.
