Burnsville girls' top scorer wouldn't change a thing

Senior guard Jessica Ranke is the leading scorer returning for the Burnsville girls' basketball team. A closer look at Ranke:

The best movie I've seen in the last year? "Gnomeo and Juliet."

Three songs I never skip on my iPod are ... "Tik Tok" by Kesha; "Beggin'" by Madcon; "Soul Man" by The Blues Brothers.

How did you get started playing basketball? I asked my parents to sign me up.... Eventually I played for traveling and then for my junior high.

What is your favorite meal before a game? A sandwich from Subway or Jimmy John's, or pizza rolls.

At my first varsity practice, I felt ... extremely nervous, but excited.

To get focused for a game, I ... follow the same routine: Get to the school at the same time, change into my uniform and shoes, and shoot around all while listening to my iPod.

If you could change one thing about high school sports, what would it be? Nothing. I love them.

Who is your favorite college or pro sports team and why? No favorites, but I watch Duke's guys' basketball team a lot because the rest of my family is obsessed with them.

In 10 years, I hope I'm ... a pediatric surgeon.

What is the best sports advice you ever received? "Somewhere behind the athlete you've become and the hours of practice and the coaches who have pushed you is a little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back ... play for her." -- Mia Hamm. Not advice, but I really like that quote.
