Show Notes:Rich Spotlight: Allisha Gray

Finishing up her degree from South Carolina this May 2018 in Broadcast JournalismSlowly becoming more interested in being in front of the camera after her playing days are over

Played basketball and softball growing up in Sandersville, GAInspired by both her older and younger brother and competed against them in almost everything

Her family is very important to her and has always been there supporting her and her dad is the high school principal in SandersvilleSuffered a serious knee injury during her Senior year and she struggled to stay positive but her family and support network motivated her to work even harder to come back

Having to sit out after transferring from North Carolina to South Carolina was difficult but allowed her to see the game from a different perspectiveWinning the National Championship was surreal but she didn’t have much time to celebrate as she had to make a quick decision to enter the WNBA draft and forego her final year of eligibility

Selected 4th overall by the Dallas WingsOne of her favorite memories is her first WNBA game and having to guard one her idols growing up, Diana Taurasi

Earned WNBA 2017 Rookie of the YearWords of Wisdom from Allisha Gray:“Be yourself, stay the course, and stay inspired to do what you want you to do and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something.”
