Oshkosh North's Awut Alic signs to play basketball at DePaul University
OSHKOSH – Oshkosh North senior Awut Alic sat in front of future Oshkosh North girls basketball players on "Meet the Spartans night" where the varsity team meets and interacts with girls from the youth program. But it also was a special night for Alic who accomplished a goal she's been working towards since she was like one of those girls in attendance. "It's pretty exciting just to see how much I accomplished and just to be celebrated a little. It still hasn't hit me," Alic said. "I'm just thankful for everybody who came out to watch me sign." On Thursday, Nov. 12, Alic signed to play Division I basketball at DePaul University. She committed to DePaul on July 28. She chose DePaul over Butler, Illinois State, Murray State and Northern Illinois who were all in her top five. "That was always the goal when I was younger. I always dreamed of playing Division I basketball," Alic said. She's the second Oshkosh North girls basketball player to sign to play women's basketball at the Division I level. The first was Lori McGinnis (formerly Goerlitz) who played at Marquette University and was the 1991 Wisconsin Ms. Basketball. More: North Fond du Lac’s

If the request is approved by state lawmakers, it would add more than 80-million-dollars to the current 738-million-dollar state appropriation.
