Former Gamecocks player Aliyah Boston sent a heartwarming selfie to her former college head coach, Dawn Staley. In the picture, Boston was not alone as she was accompanied by her former teammate, Kamilla Cardoso.
Indiana Fever's Boston and Chicago Sky's Cardoso played against each other in a 91-83 game on June 17. After the game, Dawn Staley received a joyful surprise from her former student-athletes. She shared their selfie on her X account and wrote:
"Just got this from ….they tore into each other but it is all love. I got a chance to witness that for two years. Oh hey you’re welcome!"
In the Fever vs. Sky game, fans got to see another instance of Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark's on-court rivalry. The former LSU star struck Clark, which earned her a flagrant foul. The game saw some shining moments from Kamilla Cardoso as shown in the video below:

The South Carolina Gamecocks head coach has been enjoying the off-season. From going to Disney World, and a trip to the New York Stock Exchange to becoming the cover sports personality for SLAM magazine, the star head coach has kept herself busy after winning her second national championship title as the mentor of the Gamecocks.
To add more fun to her schedule, the talented coach shared a fun video of herself and Sania Feagin, Sakima Walker, Ashley Bruner, and Markeshia Grant on her social media accounts. The five of them danced to the song "Can't Get Enough" from Tamia in the Gamecock's gym facility.
Apart from sharing her dancing talents with the world, the coach received a special letter from the pop sensation Beyonce, who appreciated and complimented her efforts in helping the team win their second national championship title.
Dawn Staley will try to emulate the same kind of success this upcoming women's basketball season. With talents like Sakima Walker, Raven Johnson, Bree Hall, Te-Hina Pao Pao, and more, the team will aim to make a huge splash right when the season starts.
