The concoction worked well enough that Laney took the floor for starting lineup introductions. Laney, however, says her jump shots were short all game because of how she felt and that she pushed the ball with less pace than she otherwise would have. “She fought through it like a trouper without anybody [in the public] knowing she was sick that day,” Walker says.
As players from the small Pennsylvania HBCU sat stunned in their locker room, Stringer told the group how proud she was of their journey. “Keep your heads up. We were here. Nobody else can say that,” she said. Like his grandmother had done decades earlier, in 1992 he enrolled at Cheyney, where he was struck by his ability to, in his words, “connect with my heritage, with my culture.” Adams would maintain his affinity for the university following graduation.
Bagby, the school’s current athletic director, was first hired in 2016 to coach women’s basketball. She succeeded Adams, who did not have his contract renewed after the ’15–16 campaign following changes to the university’s administration. She assumed the school’s AD position in July ’21. Under her leadership, and with Walton’s approval, Cheyney resumed the men’s basketball and volleyball teams this fall.
