Beavers have signee earn the honor for second-straight year
CORVALLIS – For the second-straight season the Oregon State women's basketball team has had a signee named a McDonald's All-American, as Sasha Goforth has been selected to play in the annual all-star game.
Goforth will join 2019 McDonald's All-American Kennedy Brown on the Beavers' roster next year, along with 2016 selection Destiny Slocum who earned the honor as a commit to Maryland.
The top 24 high school girls players in the nation were selected to the game. The players will join a prestigious and historic group of basketball legends when they take the court for the 43rd McDonald's All American Games on Wednesday, April 1, at the Toyota Center in Houston.
Sasha Goforth (Fayetteville, Arkansas) is a five-star recruit and the No. 7 rated player in the nation according to Blue Star Basketball. She is ESPN's No. 16 overall player and their No. 4 rated guard for the 2020 signing class, and is on the Naismith Trophy High School Watch List. Goforth is a three-time All-Arkansas honoree and was the Arkansas Gatorade Player of the Year in 2019. She was one of six girls in the nation to earn an invite to the exclusive boys Under Armour SC30 Select Camp, and made the state All-Tournament Team twice.
According to ESPN, Goforth is: "An agile guard that earns respect from the defense with a deep range offensive arsenal; manufactures shots, rises over defenders in mid-range game; superior back court size, rebounds and attacks in uptempo, distributes on the fast break; continues as an elite guard in the class of 2020."
Goforth and Savannah Samuel both signed national letters of intent to join Oregon State in November. For more information on the two signees, click here.
As a team the Beavers are ranked No. 7 in this week's AP Poll, and are 16-2 on the season. Oregon State will head to Eugene on Friday for a matchup with No. 4 Oregon in the Civil War, brought to you by PacificSource Health Plans, Spirit Mountain Casino, Safeway-Albertsons, your local Toyota Dealers and First Interstate Bank.
