Senior Alexandria Harris signed a basketball scholarship with Shawnee Community College at a signing ceremony held at Paducah Tilghman High School on May 10.
Harris, a power forward and center, played varsity basketball for two years at Paducah Tilghman.
“As a coach, watching my very first player get a scholarship and sign, I can’t express the joy that we all feel,” said PTHS head coach Stephani Gray. “Girls who play sports become women who lead. Hard work pays off and that’s what it will take for Alex to be successful.”
“It’s an honor to be here to celebrate Alex’s accomplishments,” said Kristin Shelby, head women’s basketball coach at Shawnee. “I saw Alex at the Saints All-Star game and was impressed with the intangibles that she brings- the way that she communicates with her teammates, her positive energy on the basketball floor- really sold her to me. I look forward to the next two years.”
