Aisha Jefferson

I'm pretty happy with this one.

Here are the photos for the inside front of Friday's paper and the video that accompanied it. Its a story about junior forward Aisha Jefferson who tore her ACL during an exhibition game last November. Since then she has been sidlined and working through rehab while still being a part of the team.



Junior forward Aisha Jefferson listens to directions from assistant strength and conditioning coach Mike Vorkapich in the Duffy Daugherty building. Earlier this year Jefferson injured her knee in an exhibition game, which has sidelined her for the season. “It’s kinda tough doing it by yourself,” Jefferson said. She works out Monday through Friday after classes and then goes to practice to work out on the sidelines and gives encouragement to her teammates.

“It’s kinda tough doin’ it by yourself,” MSU junior forward Aisha Jefferson said. Jefferson was sidelined earlier this year in an exhibition game and has been going through rehabilitation ever since.
“She’s definitely an emotional leader for our team,” athletic trainer LouAnne Jefferson said. Even though she is injured, Aisha Jefferson still provides emotional support for her team on the sidelines.
