The senior sharpshooter is one of 16 girls vying for the last spot in the national High School 3-Point Championships during Final Four weekend in Atlanta, and needs the help of a fan vote to get her to the contest. Abby was invited to be part of the online vote by Intersport, the company that runs the High School Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships.
