Maltese basketball prodigy Sophie Abela helps OJC secure region tournament

Maltese basketball starlet Sophie ABela, together with her Otero Junior College team, celebrated a monumental, streak-breaking win over The Lady Thunderbirds on Saturday evening.

Abela successfully set up the game-winning lay-up after an assistive bounce pass to team-mate Emma Florez Pascual after an intense tied-up game with only 35 seconds left on the clock.

Thanks to Abela and her team’s efforts, OJC will advance to the National Junior College Athletics Association Division I Championship in Texas.
