Originally Recorded: June 19, 2026
On Episode 126 of the DMV Hoops Podcast, Kurt & Chelsie Cross welcome Ziyana Williams, a rising senior from TPLS Christian Academy in Richmond, Virginia, for another DMV Live interview from Bullis School.
Known for her physicality and dominant presence in the paint, Ziyana has built her game around doing the hard work inside. But as she prepares for her senior season, she's focused on becoming a more complete, multi-faceted player. From expanding her offensive skill set to continuing to impact the game on both ends of the floor, Ziyana shares how she's working to elevate every aspect of her game.
The conversation also dives into the importance of team basketball and the chemistry that will be key to TPLS Christian Academy's success this season. Ziyana discusses what it means to represent her program during the NCAA Live Period and how valuable these opportunities are for both individual exposure and showcasing the growth of her entire team.
Join Kurt, Chelsie, and Ziyana for a conversation about development, determination, and embracing the next challenge as she prepares for an exciting senior campaign.
