Angel Reese's homecoming to Baltimore was a memorable one. She was welcomed in her hometown with open arms at the sold out basketball game between her college team, LSU Tigers, and Coppin State.
Reese, affectionately known as the 'Baltimore Barbie' by her fans, was even joined by Baltimore political figures, Mayor Brandon Scott and Governor Wes Moore. The mayor was quoted saying, "We're going to show up for our own. And both Angel and Coppin are our own."
The atmosphere was electric and the crowd was filled with Reese fans, as she put on a show for her hometown, scoring 26 points, retrieving six rebounds, obtaining five steals, two assists, and a block.
It was clear that the game was special for Reese. She said, "Walking in here felt completely different than the first time coming in here. In high school, I never played here. My sophomore year, I remember the first time I came here and there weren’t that many fans here. But then coming in tonight, just being able to see my impact and being able to see how much has changed and understanding my impact in this world. Baltimore has meant everything to me."
The game was part of the basketball coach Kim Mulkey's effort to play games in the home cities of her players. The Tigers started the season off with a loss but they have been undefeated since, winning their 12th straight game against Coppin State.
It was a night to remember for Angel Reese and her fans, as they celebrated the Baltimore Barbie's homecoming.
