Sabrina Ionescu Showcase continues to grow: WNBA All-Star, champion hasn't forgot her Bay Area roots
CONCORD, Calif. — When her former high school coach Kelly Sopak used to call Sabrina Ionescu "The Franchise," she hated it. Worse than hate.
"She doesn't like any extra attention," he told us. "She deplores it."
That was almost a decade ago and since, well, what she's accomplished out of humble Miramonte High School in Orinda has earned her more than extra attention.
She is a franchise. But one still rooted in humbleness. Hard work. And mostly, giving back.
