Marissa Sellers Bio
Marissa Sellers is a 15-year-old sophomore student-athlete. She has lived in Brunswick County her whole life growing up close to her family. She was born locally and loves being by the beach but wants to live somewhere a little warmer when she gets older. She likes to spend her time playing softball, watching Grey’s Anatomy, and flying planes.
“I have been playing softball as long as I’ve been walking,” said Sellers.
Sellers plays shortstop and center field on the school team and has played various other positions on travel teams. Throughout her softball career, she has learned to not take things too personally and enjoy the moment.
“My proudest moment would be my first time flying a plane,” said Sellers. “Growing up I’ve wanted to fly.”
With one of her grandpas being a retired pilot and her aunt a current one, Sellers loves to spend time with and learn from them. She has been flying with family for over a year and it holds a special place in her heart. After high school, she wants to go to college to become a pilot.
“My dream is to fly commercially,” said Sellers. “My grandpa and aunt both fly and have been a big inspiration for me.”
This is her first semester in journalism and as an athlete herself, Sellers looks forward to being a sports journalist for the West Wind and to create various sports articles and coverages for the program.
