South Side High School senior Olivia Smith says he's had the dream of playing college basketball since she was 2 years old.
That dream became a reality on Wednesday when the Archers point guard signed her national letter of intent with the women's hoops program at Eastern Michigan University, a Mid-American Conference School in Ypsilanti.
As a junior, Olivia averaged 20.1 points , 4.6 rebounds, 4.4 assista and 2.6 steals per game. She is a three-time All-Summit Athletic Conference 1st Team selection and earned 2nd Team All-State last season. She plays her club basketball for Always100.
Olivia is undecided on a major, but is interested in pursuing something in the criminal justice field.
