Junior forward Marlie Bushey is a powerful force in the post for the Yellow Jackets averaging 16 points and 11 boards per game this season. Q: What three things do you feel have contributed to your success this season? A: The first thing is the time I put in during the off-season. I play AAU for Blueprint located in Burlington, and I play year round with some of the best players in Vermont. The second thing is my coaches.
