Red Lake's Grace White holds youth camp because 'basketball saved my life'

RED LAKE - When Grace White was in high school, she found stardom on the basketball court. But more than that, she found an outlet.

"Basketball saved my life," said White, a 2017 Red Lake graduate. "When I look around and come back, I see friends or people suffer from drugs or alcohol. I see where some of my friends I grew up with ended up. There's a lot that we've lost. Basketball pulled me out of that."

White blazed a trail for herself that she's developed into a promising future, and now she's giving back to the community that raised her. White, who finished her playing career at Valparaiso University this year, is holding a free youth basketball camp in Red Lake this week.
