How Wrigley Green’s Grit and Grind Made Her a Star in Texas Hoops


Listen Later

Some athletes play basketball. Others live it.

Meet Wrigley Green — a rising junior whose passion for the game has already carried her across states, from Chicago to Oregon to Texas, and into the spotlight as one of the most exciting young players in the nation. Her story is about more than buckets and highlights — it’s about family, resilience, and an unstoppable drive to chase greatness.

Wrigley’s love for basketball started early — really early. At just three years old, her dad put a basketball in her hands, and she’s never let go. Growing up playing in co-ed leagues, often the only girl on the court, Wrigley learned how to compete fearlessly.

“I just loved it ever since,” she says. “It didn’t matter who I was playing against — I just wanted to win.”

When her family moved to Oregon, that love turned into focus. Club basketball became her classroom. Discipline and hard work became her teachers. By the time her family settled in Texas, Wrigley had already built the foundation of a future star — ready to take on one of the toughest basketball regions in America.

Now representing the Argyle Lady Eagles, Wrigley has become a must-watch player. Her shooting range is deadly, her energy relentless, and her work ethic unmatched.

“I give everything I have, every single game, every single practice,” she says.

One unforgettable moment? Dropping 37 points during an Adidas 3SSB circuit game against one of the nation’s top teams. “Sometimes you’re just in the zone,” she laughs. “That was one of those nights.”

Playing for Texas Lone Star, Wrigley has thrived in a system that rewards effort, teamwork, and grit — the same qualities that have made her a leader on and off the court.

With her junior year underway, Wrigley’s sights are set on the next level. Her goal? To earn a scholarship, play in March Madness, and one day make it to the WNBA or the pro leagues overseas.

“It’s been my dream forever. March Madness is even my ringtone!” she laughs.

When she talks about basketball, her energy is contagious. She’s not just chasing trophies — she’s chasing growth, competition, and the chance to inspire other girls to chase their dreams too.

Off the court, Wrigley is all heart. She loves hanging out with friends, cooking, shopping, and yes — dominating in fantasy football. “I just love talking,” she admits with a smile. “That’s why I want to go into sports broadcasting one day.”

Her family plays a huge role in her journey. Whether it’s her brother introducing her to tennis or her dad pushing her to keep working, the Greens have built an environment of support, love, and accountability.

Wrigley Green isn’t just an athlete — she’s a reminder that dreams come true when passion meets preparation. Her story is proof that the path to success isn’t always straight, but with faith, family, and focus, anything is possible.

“If you want it, go for it. Nobody’s going to give it to you — you’ve got to earn it.”
