Ana Llanusa calls it her game mode.

For the past four years, Llanusa has dominated the high school basketball court across the state and pushed Choctaw to new levels. But what fans have watched on the court is a different Llanusa than off the court.

“She's a sweetheart, a fun girl to be around, cares about people off of the court,” Choctaw coach Ryan Maloney said.

The kind-hearted Llanusa becomes ferocious at times. A switch turns and she can take over a game with her aggressiveness and skill.
