Salem High School product Amy Scullion had already graduated and been accepted to medical school at Ohio State. She figured shed played her final basketball game for the Buckeyes last February.

Now shes back on the court. Sort of.

Scullion will balance her challenging medical-school schedule with the Buckeyes practice and game schedule this season. A starter a year ago, shes returning to a team that is short-handed because one player was kicked off the team and three others sustained season-ending knee injuries in the preseason.

I reached out to her when we had some of these injuries and she initially was very, very interested because she missed (playing), coach Kevin McGuff said on Thursday. But there were a lot of hoops we needed to jump through, No. 1 from an eligibility standpoint. And then secondly just from a practicality stance. Can she do what was required of her to be successful in medical school, which is the No. 1 priority?

Shell give it a shot.
