Loyola first-year forward Allison Day is adjusting to college basketball after playing for Eastern High School in Winchester, Ohio. She’s also leading a much different life at Loyola than she did in Ohio, now that she’s surrounded by skyscrapers instead of cornfields.
Day, a business management and sport management double major, grew up on a farm in Winchester, about an hour east of Cincinnati. Winchester is a city populated by 1,051 people, according to the 2010 census; Day said she enjoyed her experiences there and valued the time she spent managing the farm with her father.
“It was always fun,” Day said.
