The Victoria Harris of Lewiston High School never would have imagined she become a person like the Victoria Harris of the University of Southern Maine.
As star basketball player for the Blue Devils, Harris mostly kept to herself while she was averaging a double-double on the court, including a monster 36-point, 19-rebound effort in a 2018 Class AA North quarterfinal game against Edward Little. 
Fast-forward few years, and Harris has become a leader on the court, she was the first junior to be team captain of the USM women’s basketball team, and an outspoken leader on important issues such as racism, social injustice and mental health, using two different committees at USM to make sure her voice is heard.
