[www.inewsguyana.com] – Basketball prodigy Ginelle Ifill has received a full scholarship from Odessa College in America.
Ifill, who was scouted at the Caribbean Basketball Championships in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) received the scholarship on her stellar play at the Championships.
Ifill is a rebounding specialist that plays Centre for Guyana and was recognized by scouts from various colleges.
However, Ifill had to apologize to the Guyana Amateur Basketball Federation (GABF) for her participation in the Inter Guiana Games (IGG) before receiving the scholarship.
Ifill is still an under 19 player that has more to do in developing her game as a scorer as well as being better positioned to collect more boards whether on offence or defence.
In addition, Ifill is the first Guyanese to receive such a scholarship according to the GABF.
