Hernandez learning to adjust after middle school prediction becomes reality
Before entering high school, many school counselors have students write what they hope their futures will entail.
Some never come true, but for San Diego State freshman guard/forward Isabela Hernandez, it did.
In eighth grade, Hernandez predicted she would play basketball at SDSU but lost knowledge of that letter in the years that followed.
“I had forgotten about that letter until I got it after I graduated high school,” Hernandez said. “Looking back at it, I’m like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy.’ Just seeing that come true, it makes me so happy.”
Head coach Stacie Terry-Hutson said the coaches – including herself – were unfamiliar with the letter at the beginning of Hernandez’s recruitment.
