MORENO VALLEY, Calif. — Vanderbilt senior guard Jennifer Risper was honored Friday afternoon as her No. 11 jersey was retired at Canyon Springs High School.
Risper and fellow 2005 graduate Brandi Jones both were celebrated during a ceremony in the school’s gymnasium hosted by Coach Gail Hale. Approximately 100 family members and friends, including the Commodores’ entire travel party, witnessed the midday event.
Vanderbilt plays just down the road on Saturday, visiting the UC Riverside Highlanders for a 4 p.m. PT matchup. Jones’ Nevada team is also in the greater Los Angeles area this weekend.
As high school seniors, Risper and Jones led the Canyon Springs Cougars to a 31-4 record and the school’s first CIF Section Championship.
