Congratulations to Miss McIvor, on her way to Radford University

I still think they may make a movie about this young lady one day. They made one already about that guy MacGruber and here we have McIvor, and she has saved the day on more than one occasion over the past few years for her high school and travel/showcase teams….

Miss Kiera McIvor has saved her best feat for last, as she has secured a full scholarship to play college basketball at Radford University up in Virginia…

We have some of the background on Miss McIvor that we have been saving and since she saved the day for others, let’s look back at what she’s done already and see what she will be doing next, to help the Highlanders up at Radford U….

Kiera McIvor (Dudley High School) has chosen to commit to Radford University (Big South Conference). Kiera had interest early on from a couple of D1 majors schools and several mid-majors.

Kiera has not won all the accolades as many other recruits in her class (2011).
However, she has continued to do the things that don’t show up in stat books, but
helps to get the win. She is fundamental, great defender (caused many 5 sec calls),
a great leader, and has no problem giving the ball to the go to players on the team.
She chose to be a part of something much bigger than herself.

Playing team and individual showcase tournaments allowed many colleges to see her talent outside of high school-College coaches see things differently than awards you have won.

Her freshman year was a transition year for her. Many don’t know this, but her
middle school years Kiera played the 5 position. She had to learn to play facing
the basket.

Her sophomore year proved challenging as she was still searching for her role as a
combo guard on team full of talented guards led by Helen Terry and Breonna
Patterson. She was a key contributor throughout the regular season until her illness
that kept her out of conference and state play.

As a junior she was co-captain. The go to players were Breonna Patterson, Amanda
Hairston, and Desiree Drayton. Kiera’s PPG increased and her assists increased
significantly. Although this year was not without its challenges-mission
accomplished. A full scholarship to a school that offers her major and to play the
game she loves.

Good job Miss McIvor and we will be looking forward to more positive updates as you head on to the next level…..
