It’s football season, but women’s professional basketball has been getting a lot of attention. Kahleah Copper, a Prep Charter product, has been playing some outstanding basketball for the WNBA’s Chicago Sky. Copper, 6-foot-1 guard/forward, had 21 points and 10 rebounds in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, with a 91-77 win over the Phoenix Mercury.

It’s been quite a year for Copper. In July, she was selected to her first WNBA All-Star team. She leads the team in scoring (14.4 ppg). She also averages 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists a game.
