“This is the most gratifying addition to my staff,” said Head Coach Trelanne Powell. Being able to hire one of my former players is beyond rewarding. Eleana has always been a great student with an outstanding work ethic on the court. She is multi-talented and will bring so much to the lives of these young women here.”
