WBB | From Downtown – with Jade Kirisome

From Downtown goes behind-the-scenes with an SMC Women's Basketball player to get an in-depth look at the story of each Gael.

Basketball began at a very young age for Jade Kirisome. Just how young? "When I was twelve years old, my school did a tour through America, and we went to a lot of college campuses," recalled Kirisome. "From that point on, I knew I was going to college."

That's right: Kirisome has been playing international basketball since she was twelve years old. And she's been marveled by it ever since.

"I think that's the coolest part of basketball is that you can travel the world," explains Kirisome about one of her many fascinations of the sport.
