Sports: Basketball, volleyball
College plans: Undecided, but both of Erica's older sisters, Chiney and Nneke, are among the best players ever to play for the Stanford Cardinal.
Role Models: It's no surprise that older sisters Chiney and Nneke, along with Olivia (a senior at Cy-Woods) are Erica's role models. "By being able to watch them progress and receive different accolades makes me want to achieve the same and more."
Dual School: The Ogwumike family has made its mark at two different high schools. Nneke and Chiney both played at Cy-Fair where they combined to win a pair of state championships. However, redistricting resulted in Olivia and Erica enrolling in Cy-Woods, where they have made their own mark on that program.
