Biography
Growing up in her family of 8, Jacinta always felt rather out of place, and it wasn't because she was the only girl child. In spite of their fiery personalities and stout muscular structure, peccaries aren't known for achieving great physical size (as opposed to their cousins the true pigs). This meant that by age 19, Jacinta already towered over her entire family at a massive six feet four inches, and from that point on her career path was obvious.
At first her parents pushed her into volleyball in college, as it was considered a more 'feminine' sport. It felt too tame for Jacinta, however, and soon she was looking to more aggressive, adrenaline-inducing sports. She found what she was looking for in basketball.
Her natural ability to lead had her set in the point guard position pretty much right off the bat, and there she developed her ball handling skills into one of the best her school had ever seen. After several lackluster years in which nationals were a distant dream, Jacinta led the UY Bushmasters there not once, not twice, but three times, taking home the trophy on the second.
She had shown her skills in Belize, then in Mexico. Now it's time to move on to bigger and better things.
