Charlton receives La Salle offer

Lauren Charlton has not even reached the first official day of practice for her junior year on the Dallas girls basketball team after missing the second half of her junior season.

Charlton has, however, received her first NCAA Division I scholarship offer.

After proving she was back from a shoulder injury and expanding her game during the spring and summer with the JB Hoops AAU team, Charlton received an offer last week from La Salle University in Philadelphia.

Primarily a forward/center in her first two high school seasons, the 6-foot Charlton spent more time on the perimeter during the AAU season.
