Kelsey Mitchell To Be Honored at Kingdom League Today at Princeton HS
By Deon Cash
Kelsey Mitchell, one of the best players to ever grace a HS and College basketball court in Ohio, will be featured and honored today at the Kingdom Summer League in Cincinnati today.
Mitchell, who has her jersey retired at Princeton HS, will return to her Alma Mater after a WNBA All-Star berth just a couple weekends ago.
Mitchell was a superstar at Princeton HS, setting the records while earning a scholarship at Ohio State. She would go there and set more records before being drafted in the WNBA by the Indiana Fever.
This season the Fever are looking to get back into the playoff race, and Mitchell has got some key hoopers playing with her in the names of Aliyah Boston and Caitlin Clark this season.
Mitchell will be signing autographs along with being honored during the Semifinal games that are going down today.
In the first semifinal (3pmET) Committed to my Craft will take on TQL as Zander Smart leads his top tier squad into the Semifinals against NBA hooper Vince Edwards and his formidable team.
In the 2nd Semifinal the leaders of the Kingdom League (Simpys Playhouse - 6-0) will battle against the Cincinnati Warriors. Simpys has been led by Pail Mcmillan IV, who leads the league in scoring and has dominated since Week 2.
Darius Bazley, another legendary hooper from Princeton who is with the Utah Jazz, will be in the building and will play with Simpys while Kevin Mitchell, (Kelseys big bro) will be on the Cincinnati Warriors team.
The event starts at 3pmET with Mitchell being honored halfway through the day.
The first game starts at 3pm and the 2nd game will tipoff at 4:30. Donations are accepted at the event.
Mitchell will be signing autographs as well.
