Rockcastle County forward Sara Hammond may have had to make one of the toughest decision of her live this morning when she verbally decided to go to the University of Louisville to play college basketball. Having to chose between UConn, Western Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Louisville, it came down to the place closest to home.

Loyalty may have also been a contributing factor within the decision as Louisville had shown interest for the last couple of years in the Lady Rocket. But, giving the family a chance to visit and watch her play was a huge part of the decision.

Last year with the Lady Rockets, Hammond averages 15.3 points per game along with 10.3 rebounds per game helping the team finish with a 29-5 record a run to the semi-finals of the state tournament.
