Former Oak Ridge girls player finds a home and the hoop
From a story in today's Charlotte Observer by Langston Wertz Jr.:
A year ago, Grace Academy's Greta Tamasauskaite was at Oak Ridge Military Academy playing basketball for former Wake Forest star Delaney Rudd.
Last summer, Oak Ridge eliminated its football and girls basketball programs. Tamasauskaite had a friend -- also from Lithuania -- who was in the foreign exchange program at Grace Academy, a small private school on the southern end of Mecklenburg County. Her friend suggested a move to the Charlotte area.
Tamasauskaite made the move -- and she's become a star.
Tamasauskaite averages 28.4 points, 7.2 steals and 4.8 assists for Grace Academy's girls team, 22 points better than what she was scoring at Oak Ridge. Tuesday night, Tamasauskaite scored 57 points in an 83-57 win over Kennedy Charter School at home.
