Heading North
CRANBERRY TWP — Contributing to a very successful basketball program has been a highlight of Tori Drevna’s time at North Catholic High School.
The pieces are now in place for her to do so at the collegiate level.
The Cranberry Township resident and senior guard for the Trojanettes recently signed a letter of intent to attend Ithaca College in New York, extending her playing career in the process. She also considered Case Western Reserve and Emerson College in Boston.
“I first visited Ithaca two summers ago,” said Drevna, who plans to focus her studies on sports media, with the goal of one day working at ESPN. “It was tough to get a feel for the place because there weren’t many kids on campus, but I went back again in September and was able to meet the team. There were a lot of people in the town and it was a great atmosphere. That sold me.”
The Bombers compete in the NCAA’s Division III as members of the Liberty League, which they’ve been crowned champions of the last three years. Dan Raymond, who just began his 23rd season as head coach at Ithaca, has led the Bombers to a record of 450-147.
