Nneka Ogwumike named WNBA Rookie of the Year


Los Angeles Sparks forward was named WNBA Rookie of the Year today comes at no surprise. The most dominant high school player from Houston won a state championship at Cy Fair and helped lead Stanford to four consecutive Final Fours. Her sister, Chiney Ogwumike, the most complete high school player from Houston, has a chance to do same thing , Rookie of the Year, in a couple of years when she graduates from Stanford. Many sisters from the area have gone on to play at the next level but I believe the Ogwumike's will be the first family with four D1 players. Olivia (2014) and Erica (2015) are at Cy Woods and are among the top players in their classes.
