Women's Basketball's Balmy To Receive Tiana Sanders 24 Scholarship

Cosette Balmy, a point guard on the 2018-19 Pasadena City College women's basketball team, has been awarded this year's Tiana Sanders #24 Scholarship.

Balmy, who played her prep ball at Ribet Academy and was born in Martinique, France, will receive a $950 award. The scholarship is in the name of former Lancers basketball star Tiana Sanders, a PCC Sports Hall of Fame inductee and a state coaches association Hall of Famer, who set the school's single-season scoring record and was State Player of the Year in 1998-1999.

Sanders transferred on scholarship to the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and now works at Amazon in Memphis, Tennessee. She has done philanthropy work in Pasadena.

The scholarship was started in 2016 by Sanders through the PCC Foundation to go each year to a Lancers basketball player who exhibits strong sportsmanship and leadership skills, and performs well in the classroom and on the court.
