Eliely figures to be to focal point of the Rams’ offense in for the 2015-16 season after the loss guard Cassidy Budge to graduation. With Budge under the weather in a crucial Class 5A league game against Pine Creek last year, Eliely stepped up to score 25 points as the Rams got the last-second victory over the Eagles.
Eliely was named third-team all-state after last season.
She is the latest recruit from the class of 2016 to announce her decision.
