Jessica Graham is back

Yep, this is a San Jose State site but we still wish to note that Jessica Graham is back on the floor this season for the Idaho Vandals after a pre-season injury in 2008-2009. Here's her writeup at the Idaho athletics site:

2008-09: Graham redshirted the 2008-09 season after sustaining a knee injury in fall practices.

High School:
Graham led Ripon High School to a 25-7 overall and 12-3 league record in helping the Indians advance to the Sac-Joaquin Section Division IV Championship game as a junior in 2007. She averaged 15.5 points and 8.0 rebounds as a junior to earn Trans Valley League MVP honors. She was a first-team All-TVL player as a sophomore in 2006 and was the TVL Player of the Year as a freshman in 2005. She was also named to the Modesto Bee All-District First Team as a junior, as well as the Second Team as a freshman and sophomore. She transferred to Modesto Christian High School as senior and led the Crusaders to a 25-8 overall record, a 15-0 TVL record, the 2008 TVL league title and a semifinal appearance at the CIF Nor-Cal Tournament. She averaged 15.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.3 blocks per game and earned all-TVL honors for the fourth time in her career.

Personal:
She is the daughter of Steven Graham and Sharon Hernandez. She has three brothers, Justin, Roberto and Danny. She comes from a family with a strong basketball background. Both of her parents played at Cal State – Stanislaus and her brother Justin plays for San Jose State. She also competed for the Modesto Magic club team for seven years. Her major at Idaho is Education.

Some good news and some bad news


We were getting ready to send out the following:

"Shari Hernandez, Justin Graham's mother, is doing her best to make sure plenty of Ripon area fans are in the stands at Fresno State on Saturday January 10. Shari is organizing a bus trip to Fresno because daughter Jessica Graham will be playing for Idaho against the Bulldogs at 2 p.m. Her son Justin, along with Adrian Oliver, who is also from that area, and the rest of the Spartan men's basketball team will be facing Fresno State that same night at 7 p.m."

So it looks like there will be plenty of blue to counteract the red.

Then we received this from Shari:

"I have some bad news to report. Jessica Graham tore her ACL in practice on Monday and will be out for the season. She will have surgery next week and will begin a 5 month re-hab!!"

We're sending out our best wishes to Jessica -- do hang in there and come back even stronger than before.
