Drew Effect: Women's Basketball League in Greensboro

Drew started the Drew Effect Brand in January.

"DREW stands for Dream, Rehearse, Execute and Win," she said. "It started as an idea. I wanted ladies to play basketball outside of their regular life so they can continue to play the sport they love."

The ladies in the league have all played in high school, in college at D1 schools, and some who are playing professionally.

"I have local talent from UNCG, NC A&T, Greensboro College, and Guilford College. And I have talent from the ACC representing Clemson, Virginia and a lot of these ladies are about to go and play overseas as well," said Drew.

Drew played at Page High School in Greensboro and then went on to play at Guilford College. This year, she started a girl's basketball camp to inspire young female athletes.

"My mission was to put a smile on these children's faces. Even if they don't choose basketball, they can take something they learned from basketball and apply it to any aspect of their lives," she added.

The Drew Effect Women's Basketball League Championship game is tonight at Grimsley High School in Greensboro. The 3 point competition begins at 4 p.m. and the game begins at 5 p.m.

It's free! Just get ready to cheer and have a lot of fun!
