LAS VEGAS — The bell has rung and students are pouring into Bishop Gorman’s cafeteria. Aces forward Theresa Plaisance was supposed to be gone long before the crowds of high schoolers arrived for lunch.
Plaisance, a 2022 WNBA champion with the Aces, had finished giving her talk about 20 minutes earlier. But after speaking to some of the Bishop Gorman student-athletes about work ethic, sacrifice and persistence, Plaisance was surrounded by a group of 10 girls who had more questions about her life, the path to the WNBA and being a professional athlete.
“It was a perfect opportunity,” Plaisance said.
