University of South Alabama women's basketball senior Chyna Ellis has earned many accolades during her career, including three preseason all-Sun Belt Conference honors, defensive player of the year, two postseason all-league awards, and most recently became the conference's all-time leader in blocks on Jan. 18 against Coastal Carolina when she recorded a career-high and Mitchell Center record 10 blocks and currently sits at 289 for her career. However, there is a greater title she holds off the court.
Prior to Ellis' senior season at Arlington High School in Cordova, Tenn., she became pregnant. She was forced to miss the entire season, but she had her little blessing Londyn in the process.
