Originally a long-time netballer, Sam Graham decided to get into basketball later on in her life.
The sports superstar took a liking to the game, and decided to see how far she could take the game after receiving an invitation to trial.
After Sam saw one of her friends make it through the first round, it gave her the confidence to also give it a shot.
“When I got this opportunity, I thought I may as well take it,” she explained.
“I wanted to travel after school.”
After a successful trial and interview, Sam’s desire to travel, play sport and get an education was granted.
The young star has officially committed to Jamestown Community College in New York.
“I’m excited about meeting new people, and seeing how the American culture is,” she said.
Sam can’t wait to grow in “independence”, and “grow up more”.
The basketball sensation admitted although nervous, she just wants “to get started”, and is “excited”.
We’re sure you’re going to dominate, Sam!
