Future Louisville basketball star and current Cashmere high school stand out Hailey Van Lith performed in a quintessential manner by her standards on January 12th. The senior guard dropped 35 of her team’s 63 points accompanied by plenty of highlight-reel moments in a well-rounded game that helped continue the Bulldogs’ undefeated season.
For Van Lith, 35 points fall right around her season average, and the win was yet another step towards completing her decorated high school career before moving to Louisville this summer.
However, it was a familiar face watching from the stands that made this game a little sweeter when Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna drew the attention of a packed gym.
