Growing up, many athletes dream of one day playing the sport they love at the next level.
For most, that dream ends after high school. But for some, they’re only getting their careers started as they sign with universities to further their skills and their education.
At Marshall University, for two student-athletes, this dream hits a little closer to home.
Talequia Hamilton and Kiana Evans, two players on the Marshall women’s basketball team, get to experience first-hand playing the sport they love at the next level in the city they grew up in.
But Hamilton and Evans said their sights weren’t always set on Marshall.
