LYNCHBURG, Va. – A dynamic point guard from Pennsylvania, Ava London has signed with the Liberty women's basketball team for the 2027-28 academic year.
Ava London (G, 5-7, Harrisburg, Pa.)
A senior at Susquehanna Township High School, London is coming off an outstanding junior campaign for the Indians. She returned from an injury to post 14.5 ppg, 4.1 apg and 3.9 spg, earning Mid-Penn Capital Player of the Year honors and third team all-state recognition.
London's efforts helped her team go 22-5 and claim both PIAA District 3 and Mid-Penn Capital Division titles.
London plays for the Team Pennsylvania AAU squad, the same organization which produced recent Lady Flame Caroline Shiery.
"Liberty is a beautiful place, and I'm excited to call it home," remarked London. "I knew from the start that this would be the place for me and I'm so thankful God has this place aligned in my path!
"The coaching staff, the players, the campus and everything as a whole has such a radiant light that makes me so excited to leave home in the summer. I can't wait to make memories and grow as a person at Liberty!"
What They're Saying About Ava London
"We're excited to welcome Ava London to Liberty University. She's a versatile, athletic point guard with a great feel for the game, the ability to shoot the three and a strong defensive presence. Most importantly, Ava is a great young woman from a great family, and we believe she'll be an outstanding addition to our program, both on and off the court."
Alexis Sherard, Liberty Women's Basketball Head Coach
"I think I speak for the entire area of Harrisburg, Pa., when I say we are so proud of Ava. What I've been most proud of with Ava is the growth. She's put the work in, she's been coachable, she's competed, and she's continued to push herself to get better. As a coach, you want your players to leave your program prepared for what's next, both on and off the court, and I believe Ava is ready for that. She has truly earned this opportunity. Liberty is getting a great player, but you're getting an even better young woman. I'm proud of her, I'm excited for her, and I know she's going to make an impact. Her best basketball is still ahead of her."
Daron Dickerson, Susquehanna Township High School Girls' Basketball Head Coach
"Ava is one of the most talented players I've coached, but what makes her special is that she is also one of the most coachable. Since 6th grade she and I have had this player-coach connection during games. No matter who we faced, I always felt like we had a chance when Ava was playing on my team. She just checks every box: skilled, coachable, a leader, a committed defender, and a great teammate. When a player brings all of those qualities together, she raises the standard for everyone around her. Coaching Ava since sixth grade has made her commitment to Liberty University especially meaningful. Understanding that our time together as coach and player was a God-ordained thing makes this commitment so much more special! I've had the privilege of watching her grow as a player, a teammate and a young woman. I'm proud of the opportunity she has earned and the way she has represented herself throughout the process. Ava is a class act! Liberty is getting so much more than a talented player. They're getting someone who listens, leads, defends and cares about her teammates."
