Hill was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) during her senior year of high school in 2013. DIPG is an inoperable form of brain cancer and Hill was given a zero percent chance to survive. Doctors said that Hill had two years left, at most.
Despite her terminal illness, Hill was able to fulfill her dream and play college basketball.
On Nov. 2, Mount St. Joe played Hiram College in an exhibition game in which Hill played. Hill scored the first bucket on the first play of the game and the crowd went crazy.
“This was my dream, to score on this floor, and it felt amazing,” Hill told WLWT.
