DEJA PETERSON |
Bellefontaine’s Deja Peterson said she has dreamed of playing college basketball “ever since I could remember.”
Peterson’s dream is now a reality. She signed a letter of intent earlier this week to play for Ohio Valley University, an NCAA Division II school in Vienna, W.Va.
“It’s really exciting to have this opportunity,” said Peterson. “I never really thought it would happen, but it is an awesome feeling.”
Peterson did her due diligence when searching for a college as she researched a host of possible destinations. But in the end, she said she felt most comfortable at Ohio Valley.
“When I went down there for an open gym, I was able to meet the team and the coaches,” said Peterson. “I met the team and coaches and I felt comfortable right away. I could really see myself going to school and playing basketball there.”
