Heather Miller kept the orthopedic surgeons busy in 2011. Two knee surgeries kept her off the court for a calendar year and a basketball season.

But the former Mt. Juliet High player made the decision long before tearing her right ACL the first time she wasn't going to quit, and now she will end her playing career this weekend on her terms.

Miller graduated from Mt. Juliet in 2008 and played two seasons at Vol State Community College. After transferring to Trevecca Nazarene University in 2010, the 6-foot post played 13 games for the Lady Trojans before blowing out her right knee.
