After a stellar high school basketball career at Northwestern High School, soon-to-be Arizona freshman Makayla Presser-Palmer is giving back to the Erie County basketball community.
Presser-Palmer, the all-time leading scorer in District 10 girls basketball history, teamed up with incoming Mercyhurst Prep girls basketball coach Joe Jones Sr. to help shape the next generation of basketball players.
On Saturday, the two hosted a basketball clinic at the ECAT gym for girls in grades three through 10. For Presser-Palmer and Jones, the clinic is one way to pay it forward and share their knowledge with young athletes.
Presser-Palmer, who is ranked No. 63 overall by ESPN, finished her high school career with 2,560 career points.
Now, as she prepares to begin her college career at Arizona, she is using her success to inspire the next generation of girls basketball stars right here in Erie County.
