Sam Breen headed to Penn State

Breen, who was recently chosen as Pennsylvania's Class 4A Girls Basketball Player of the Year, is hoping the second time's a charm. She announced on Monday that she will be accepting an offer to continue her academic and athletic career at Penn State University.

Her decision will be made official this week when she signs, but that is a mere formality.
