A Triton Central Tiger has been awarded a scholarship from the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
Four recipients were announced of the Hall's “Gifts of the Game” scholarship program. Triton Central student-athlete Elizabeth Graham was selected as recipient of a four-year renewable college scholarship worth up to $4,000.
Graham is a four-year member of the Triton-Central girls basketball team, earning All-Shelby County, All-Indiana Crossroads Conference, and IBCA All-District honors. When not on the hardwood, Graham participates on the Tigers girls soccer team, also earning All-County and All-Conference selections.
In the classroom, she is a member of the National Honor Society, Sunshine Society, and Student Council. She volunteers within her community as an instructor and coach at various youth basketball and soccer camps.
Graham is the daughter of Bryan and Christine Graham of Fairland and will continue her education and basketball career at Indiana University South Bend.
The “Gifts of the Game” scholarship program was created to recognize high school seniors who have been involved in Indiana high school basketball as a player, manager, statistician, student trainer, or other similar role with consideration given to their scholarship, leadership, and extra-curricular activities.
The name “Gifts of the Game” is a nod to both the financial gift Indiana high school seniors will be receiving, as well as the benefits basketball has played in the lives of those associated with the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and this program. In its fourth year of existence, $16,000 in college scholarships will be given this year through the program.
