Rookie from Sookmyung Girls' High School are enriching the league.
On the 9th, a match was held at Asan Yi Sun-shin Gymnasium between Hana Bank's regular women's professional basketball league Woori Bank vs Samsung Life Insurance in the 2024-2025 season. Woori Bank and Samsung Life Insurance, which are aiming to win the regular league, played a fierce game. The result ended with a 63-52 victory for Woori Bank.
Rookie players of both teams showed stellar performance on the day. Woori Bank's Lee Min-ji, the "MJ" who is bringing fresh air to the league, scored 15 points including three 3-pointers. Samsung Life Insurance countered with forward Yoo Ha-eun's performance. Yoo played 15 minutes and 7 seconds, winning three rebounds and scoring two points.
The two players have been drafted by the team this season. Considering that most players in the WKBL have been tempered in the Futures League for a season or two, it is unusual for them to immediately utilize their power.
What is interesting is that Lee Min-ji, who was picked as sixth in the first round, and Yoo Ha-eun, who was picked as fourth in the second round, are the same class as Sookmyung Girls' High School. The two players also made headlines by participating in the graduation ceremony on the 10th after their showdown on the 9th.
Song Yoon-ha, a former Sookmyung Girls' High School student, had to watch her friends go to the graduation ceremony on the 10th in a match between KB Stars and BNK Sum, who fought an extended match at Sajik Indoor Gymnasium in Busan.
Song played 22 minutes and 19 seconds per game this season, scoring 7.4 points and 5.1 rebounds, and is considered a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year along with Shinhan Bank Hong Yoo-soon. He also played 36 minutes and 58 seconds in the match against BNK on Wednesday, leading his team's victory with 12 points and five rebounds.
스포츠토토 KB Stars will hold a special graduation ceremony at Cheongju Gymnasium on the 13th to congratulate Song Yoon-ha, who was unable to participate in the graduation ceremony.
Lee Min-ji, Yoo Ha-eun, and Song Yoon-ha are also the main players who led Sookmyung Girls' High School in its heyday. The three players led the team to the long-term championship, the final championship, the King of Kings, and the National Sports Festival in 2024. In particular, the National Sports Festival was the first achievement in 98 years since Sookmyung Girls' High School established the basketball team in 1926.
Inseong Girls' High School centered on Park Da-jung in 2011, Samcheonpo Girls' High School centered on Kang Yi-seul, Kim Yi-seul and Kim Han-bi in 2012, and Bundang Management High School centered on Park Ji-soo, Na Yoon-jung and Cha Ji-hyun in 2017.
However, although it is not easy to recreate the performance in the amateur league in the professional league, the three female students from Sookmyung Girls' High School are quickly melting into the team and showing their talents. Is it fate that the WKBL stage will become the world of Sookmyung Girls' High School in the future? I enjoy watching this.
