” Both of these outstanding young ladies have put so much hard work and energy into their endeavors on and off the court. Not only are they great players, but also great people. It has been an honor and privilege to work with them and witness their growth as athletes and high academic achievers”, said Gonzalez. UISD Athletic Director Bobby Cruz noted the extraordinary challenge of being chosen for collegiate basketball teams. “In basketball, an average of only 14 players is needed to round-out a team.
The fact that Isabella and Elisa were chosen from very large pools of candidates is a testament to their talents as well as the great basketball programs that we have at UISD. I wish to congratulate them and thank their parents,coaches and teammates for all their support” said Cruz.
