Freshman center Averi Gamble, right, makes a move in the lane to get open during the game against Furman on Nov. 18 at McGuirk Arena.
After an entire summer without picking up a basketball, former Mount Pleasant Sacred Heart Academy leading scorer Averi Gamble decided she couldn't stay away from the sport she loves.
The 6-foot-3 center planned to spend her freshman year at Central Michigan University focusing on her academics and possibly playing club basketball in her free time. She said she hadn't played since March, when Sacred Heart lost to Pittsford 48-30 in the Class D State Championship Game.
