Throughout the spring, The Times will interview high school seniors whose athletic careers were cut short by the coronavirus outbreak.

Name: Ashley Chevalier

School: Chatsworth Sierra Canyon

Sport: Basketball, guard

Key stats: Averaged 11.7 points and 4.3 assists to help defending state Open Division champion Sierra Canyon secure the No. 1 seed in the Southern Section Open Division playoffs this year

Summer plans: Working out with her mother and father, both coaches

Fall plans: Will attend the University of Texas

On having two coaches in the house help her through the sports stoppage:

“They’re doing everything they can. We’re watching film. We have a basketball court outside and trying to do little things, like ball handling.”

On winning the State Open title in 2019:

“Definitely that was the highlight [of my high school career]. It’s every player’s dream to win a championship. The way we won it with the starters able to step off the court and get our moment was really special.”

How the sports stoppage has changed her life:

“I think everyone is understanding how to be grateful and not take things for granted. Basketball has always been there and you never thought it can be taken away. It’s a learning curve understanding anything can be stopped any moment.”
