DAN LOVELL SLAM DUNKS USA SCHOLARSHIP

Former Cambridge Cats Junior Dan Lovell who has been studying a Sport National Diploma at Long Road Sixth Form College in Cambridge, will be moving stateside to join Adams State College in Colorado.

The 18-year-old is a member of the Long Road Basketball academy, and played for Cambridge Cats at both U16 and U18 National League Teams.

He said: “Going to play basketball in the United States has been a dream of mine since I started playing. It was not until I went to Long Road that I realised my dream could turn into a reality.

“I am very grateful to everyone who has helped and supported me along the way, including my team mates: we all encourage each other in training so that we always keep improving.”

The four-year scholarship will see Lovell study Human Performance and Physical Education while also aiming to win a place in the college basketball team.

Cambridge Cats Coach Clinton Wedderburn said: "The club is very proud of what Dan has been able to achieve. He has always been a key member of the National League squads at Cambridge Cats. We wish him all the best for the future."

His coach at Long Road, Pete Charlwood, said: “Dan has been one of the Academy’s top players in terms of ability, level of commitment and work ethic. I am extremely excited and proud of Dan and pleased that all his hard work has paid off.”

We wish Dan all the best in his time at Adam State college. You can follow Dan's progress through his own personal Blog. Check it out at:
