Pursuit Beyond Weekend Basketball Clinic
GraceAnne and Grace Stone will be heading up to Newtown Connecticut this afternoon for an evening session with Brittany Hunter, Gianna Smith and some UConn Huskies. Pursuit Beyond is running a Friday and Saturday evening offensive skills clinic. The girls had such fun last time and learned so much I figured they would enjoy doing it again. Hopefully we can make it up to the Newtown Youth Academy in time for the 5:30 start time.
Brittany Hunter was the #1 ranked high school prospect, went to Duke, transferred to UConn. Unfortunately got hurt but showed tremendous heart and determination in coming back from her injury.
Gianna Smith #1 all time leading scorer for Adelphi University as a forward (worth mentioning since it's usually those pesky guards, not bigs, that get all the scoring glory).
"Gianna Smith (Hempstead, N.Y.) was named to the All-Met Division II Women's Basketball First Team by the National Invitation Tournament and the Met Basketball Writers Assn.
Smith, last season's player of the year, completed her Adelphi career as the all-time leading scorer with 1,559 points. She led the Panthers in scoring, averaging 15.8 ppg and was second in rebounds (7.3). She was also named a first-team All-ECC selection and to the ECAC All-Tournament Team."
Both Gianna and Brittany are sports management grad students at UConn and do a lot of work with kids attending elementary school in the community. Very, very nice people with a really good program. Should be a nice weekend for the girls and the whole family. I'll try to get some pix and vids to post.
