Sobolewski Grants Releases to Adams and Peets
Former Bengals look to pursue new avenues as Adams returns closer to home and Peets continues education in art school
Pocatello, ID-Idaho State head women’s basketball coach Seton Sobolewski has granted both Sheila Adams and Verity Peets a release from their scholarships. Adams seeks a release to move closer to her family as she looks to attend schools in her home state of Utah, while Peets plans to attend an art school. Both were originally recruited by former ISU head coach Jon Newlee, and both plan to continue their basketball careers elsewhere.
"Shelia and Verity have decided to leave the program and we respect their decision" said head coach Sobolewski. "We appreciate the time that they spent here and we wish them the best in the future."
Freshman Adams played in all of Idaho State’s 31 games and became a regular starter for the team after sophomore Chelsea Pickering sustained a season-ending ACL tear in a game at Montana State. At the guard position she averaged 5.7 points and 2.6 rebounds for the Bengals her freshman year.
Forward Peets played in 28 games for the Bengals and started in one, a home game against Northern Arizona. She averaged 2.5 points and 2.2 rebound for Idaho State in her sophomore season.
"After spending two years at Idaho State University, I have made irreplaceable friends and created great memories that will be with me for the rest of my life,” said Peets. “Though I'm sad to be leaving such great people behind, I'm excited to start this new chapter in my life. I would like to thank the players and coaches for being so supportive, even though I'm no longer playing for Idaho State, I will always be part of the Bengal Family."
Idaho State looks forward to its four signees, who inked with the Bengals in November of 2008. Morgan Wohltman, Ashleigh Vella, Shannon Byrne, and Kaela Oakes will join the Bengals as freshman for the 2009-10 season.
