Somewhere in the midst of the gallery of Olympic legends, the acres of state-of-the-art training facilities and in the company of some of the nation's premier players, Elena Delle Donne stumbled into a bit of basketball paradise. There were no recruiting pitches, no acts of grandiose salesmanship, just some good old-fashioned chalk talk and hands-on instruction from coaches who were at the United States Olympic Training Center to coach her rather than get her signature on a national letter of intent.
Through the battery of tests and the steady stream of visits to the doctor's office, Elena Delle Donne always held out hope that her days of being a spectator would be a distant memory by the time she made her way to New England to take part in the prestigious Hoop Hall Classic. Her wishes became a reality on Friday night as she had 38 points and 11 rebounds to lead Ursuline Academy of Wilmington, Del., to a 57-37 victory over Christ the King of Middle Village, N.Y., before an estimated 1,500 at Springfield College's Blake Arena.
University of Connecticut recruit Elena Delle Donne was named the Naismith female high school girls' basketball player of the year on Wednesday. Delle Donne, a 6-foot-5 guard at Ursuline Academy in Wilmington, Del., is the leading scorer in Delaware high school girls' basketball history. She will join 2006 and 2007 Naismith winner Maya Moore in Storrs this fall. Delle Donne, who missed 10 games due to mononucleosis, is averaging 30 points a game for Ursuline and had 90 points and 11 3- pointers in the Raiders' first three games in the Delaware state tournament, including 29 in three quarters of play in Ursuline's 59- 27 win over Sanford in Wednesday's semifinals.
ORONO - Everybody inside Alfond Arena knew Delaware's Elena Delle Donne was going to take the final shot of the game. Despite a concerted effort by the University of Maine defense, the Blue Hens' highly-touted freshman refused to be stopped Tuesday night.
