Daily News | Penn Charter’s Aleah Snead comes from a family of athletes, and now she’s following in their steps as a St. Joe’s commit
Penn Charter forward Aleah Snead FaceTimed her mother when she received her first college offer from St. Joseph’s. Snead, a sophomore at the time, shed tears of excitement, overjoyed that her hard work had paid off.
And her actual home in Northeast Philly was only 30 minutes away, which made her decision that much easier, knowing her family can visit and watch her play. She has a close-knit relationship with her family that has bonded through sports. The summer of sixth grade, Snead joined the Mid-Atlantic Magic, an AAU team, and played with the group for two years. She felt a bit overwhelmed at first, it being the first travel basketball team she played for.
After an AAU game, Maguire spoke with then-14-year-old Snead about how Penn Charter would be the right fit for her, emphasizing the school’s high level of academics and being an immediate impact player on the varsity. “When she came in, we had an older group of seniors kind of knowing that she was going to play alongside them,” Maguire said. “As her role expanded, she understood when we needed her to score and when we needed her to set up her teammates.”
