Must read

Former Reed High basketball standout Gabby Williams is holding the inaugural “Gabby Williams Basketball Camp” at the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows this weekend.

The back-to-back one-day camps are happening this Saturday and Sunday at the Boys & Girls Club of Truckee Meadows’ Pennington Facility across from Reno High School. Both camps will run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The beginner/intermediate camp is Saturday with the advanced camp Sunday. Campers are asked to bring a water bottle and lunch. Registration is $100 per camper and a club membership is required to participate.

Williams guided Reed High to a large-class state title during her sophomore year in 2012 before injuries cut her junior and senior basketball seasons short. She earned McDonald’s All-American honors and earned Nevada Gatorade Player of the Year honors twice in track and field.

One of the top recruits in the state’s history, Williams helped guide UConn to NCAA Championships in 2015 and 2016 while earning All-American honors. She was named the National Defensive Player of the Year in 2017. During Williams’ four-year career with the Huskies, she helped guide UConn to a 148-3 record.

Williams was the No. 4 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft by the Chicago Sky and spent time with the Los Angeles Sparks and Seattle Storm. Williams won a bronze medal with the French National Team in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics and is currently playing overseas with Team France ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
