Wilsonville senior Sophie Bynum signs to D1 Air Force
Last week, Wilsonville High School senior, Sophia Bynum made her decision to officially sign to continue her academics and basketball career at the Air Force Academy. Sophie is a 6’1” post for the Wildcats and a powerhouse when it comes to crashing the boards for rebounds, or taking it to the hoop. She is a well rounded player with not only size, but a solid jump shot that finds its way into the hoop from nearly anywhere on the court. Sophie has worked immensely hard to get to where she is now and thanked all those who have supported her in a recent social media post. “I’m so excited to serve my country and attend such an amazing school! Thank you to all the coaches, teachers, and teammates who have made this dream possible. Thank you to my mom and dad for providing opportunities for me to succeed. Thank you to my little brother Draco who has always pushed me to work hard. Thank you to the Wilsonville community for welcoming me! I’m so proud to be a Wildcat but I’m ready to become a Falcon.”
The Wilsonville Wildcats wish Sophie good luck next year, and are encouraged to see her, and the rest of Wilsonville’s team, in action this basketball season beginning during the girl’s home opener on December 9th, 2016.
