Middle School standout Mia Walker attends Rising Blue Star Camp
Harrisburg Guard Mia Walker attended the Rising Blue Star Camp on November 20. Rising Blue Star is the premier showcase event for girls basketball players. RBS provides basketball players a platform to be elite and evaluated by the elite. The event was held at the 76ers Fieldhouse in Wilmington, Delaware.
Mia is a 5’8 2026 Combo Guard from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She currently attends St Catherine Laboure School and runs with Central PA Elite on the AAU circuit. Mia will be attending Bishop McDevitt High School for her prep career. .
Mia is a primary ball handler but can also put her back to the basket. Using her skill and size, she’s capable of scoring at all three levels while having tremendous court vision to find open teammates. She attended the Rising Blue Star Camp this past weekend and it was a new experience for the standout guard. For being one of the youngest prospects there, Mia competed at a high level and showed that she belonged.
Tyreese Smith asked Mia a few questions based on her experience of attending the camp:
How was the experience attending Blue Star Rising Camp?
“My camp experience was mind blowing. Seeing so many girls that were so good and dedicated to the sport, learning from the older girls and connecting with them was amazing!”
With COVID regulations in play, was this a very different showcase experience for you?
“I haven't been to a whole bunch of showcases. However It was still a little different working out with a mask on. I had to get used to breathing with the mask on but I still enjoyed it.”
What are some takeaways from the event? What will you do to improve your game moving forward?
“Some takeaways that I took is there's always someone working as hard or harder than you. When you're not working, you have to go your hardest in practice if you want results in the game. I will improve on being more aggressive with the ball and working harder on defense.”
