LSU forward Angel Reese has ascended to stardom since winning the national championship, and she is using that star status to support the next generation.
On Saturday, Reese donated $12,000 to her former high school, St. Frances Academy in Baltimore, to cover tuition expenses for a member of the school’s girls basketball team. According to Reese’s mother, Reese benefited from a similar donation in her four years at St. Frances, and this is her way of paying it forward.
After her senior year at St. Frances, Reese was a top-five recruit in the class of 2020 that also included Paige Bueckers, Caitlin Clark and Hailey Van Lith.
