A new professional basketball journey is beginning for a standout from Cincinnati. Chance Gray, a former Lakota West player and Winton Woods graduate, heard her name called in the second round of the WNBA draft on April 13.

The Los Angeles Sparks selected the dynamic senior guard with the No. 24 overall pick. Gray is coming off a stellar season at Ohio State University, where she started 35 games and averaged an impressive 14.7 points per game for the Buckeyes.

Her path to the pros showcases her talent and adaptability. The 2022 Winton Woods graduate played her freshman and sophomore seasons at Oregon before transferring to Ohio State for her final two collegiate campaigns, where she truly flourished.

With this selection, Gray adds to a proud legacy, becoming the 21st Ohio State Buckeye to be drafted into the WNBA. She joins a Sparks team that is looking to rebuild, having missed the postseason last year. In Los Angeles, she'll bring her scoring prowess and valuable experience to a backcourt eager for new talent.
