Alabama A&M guard Shelomi Sanders made a brilliant start to this season. She helped the Bulldogs secure a dominant 96-50 victory over the Oakwood Ambassadors in an exhibition game on Monday at AAMU Event Center. She recorded 14 points, one rebound and an assist.

Deion Sanders' daughter began her college career at Jackson State. The win against Oakwood should give Sanders a lot of confidence ahead of her team's season opener versus Alabama Crimson Tide.

Her father posted a warm message on Instagram, expressing his pride after his daughter's impressive performance against Oakwood.

"I’m so PROUD OF U BABYGIRL & that at the end let’s them know that you’re a $ANDERS! Daboo Daboo Daboo," he wrote.

Her father's message caught the attention of college hoops fans on social media.

"We stand a supportive father," a fan wrote.

Sanders has the ceiling to be one of the best players in her position in college basketball. However, she needs more experience to mature as a guard. Many eyes will be on her when Alabama A&M tip off their season versus the Crimson Tide.
