Right out of Pflugerville High School, guard Britney Onyeje decided to head east to continue her athletic and academic careers.
She didn’t land in Houston, though. Instead she ended up all the way the way in the East Coast, enrolling at Central Florida in Orlando.
But at UCF, Onyeje sat out for her entire freshman season.
When things didn’t go as planned, Houston women’s basketball head coach Ronald Hughey and the rest of the coaching staff were thankful they had stayed in touch with Onyeje and her family.
Sometimes the saying “you’ll always find your way back home” rings true.
