Gordo’s Sellers Signs with West Alabama

By Brian Hamilton, Sports Correspondent

On April 18, Gordo’s Corley Sellers signed her letter of intent to play basketball for the University of West Alabama. Sellers was a four-year starter for the Lady Wave and helped lead Gordo to its first ever Sweet 16 this past season.

Sellers said she was also recruited by Judson College and Huntingdon College, but when West Alabama made their offer, it was an easy decision because it felt like home. One of the West Alabama assistants had originally recruited her, but the assistant left for another school, therefore UWA and Sellers lost contact for a while.

“I pretty much knew from my visit (to UWA) that if they offered, that’s where I wanted to be,” Sellers said. “It was a spur of the moment thing because their roster had already been filled, but then he (UWA head coach Rusty Cram) gave me a call and two of his girls ended up leaving.”
