Pitt head coach Lance White delivered some tough news on Friday afternoon, as he announced that the career of Panthers guard Alayna Gribble had come to an end. The former Norwin High School standout suffered several concussions during her playing career and was medically disqualified from the team.
”Alayna Gribble is the epitome of what we look for in a student-athlete, and we are heartbroken for her having to give up the game she loves,” White said. “She has not only performed at a high level on the basketball court, but also off the court as she has represented the city of Pittsburgh and the people in this amazing city in the brightest of lights.
