In High School: Joe Price, Head Coach of Liberty High School, put Olivia in charge of the Lady Blue Jays and it worked very well. From winning the Rockwood Summit Tournament four straight years, to two of the last three District Championships and a fourth place finish in the State Tournament in 2017-18, Olivia has played a major part in Liberty's success. Over her career, Olivia has been named a First Team All-Conference performer four straight years and to three All-District teams. She was the conference MVP as a senior. Her junior year, Olivia averaged 11 points per game and four assists per game, while shooting 46% from the three-point line and is a 1,000 career point scorer. For most of Olivia's AAU career she played with an independent local club, Les Chats, under the direction and coaching of Conrad Weledji.  After this program disbanded, Olivia played her last year with Kansas Elite. When she isn't playing basketball, Olivia still stays involved by coaching young girls' teams in the area. Olivia, was ranked first in her class while carrying a 4.0 GPA at Liberty.
