“Baby of the bunch emerges”: Coach Prime’s ex-wife Pilar hypes up daughter Shelomi Sanders after Alabama thrash Oakwood
Shelomi Sanders, the youngest child of Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders, made a strong debut on the court as the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs secured a 96-50 victory over Oakwood University on Monday. The win marked an important milestone for Shelomi, who has much to prove in her debut year with the team. Her mother, Pilar Sanders, is celebrating every bit of it.
In just 10 minutes of playtime, Shelomi showcased her skills with an impressive stat line with 14 points, 2 steals, 1 assist, 1 block and 1 rebound.
Pilar celebrated both the team’s victory and Shelomi’s standout performance with an Instagram post, shared a clip from the game and captioned it:
"AND YEP JUST LIKE THAT! THE BABY OF THE BUNCH EMERGES! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It’s basketball season ya’ll!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO MY @aamuwbb FOR THEIR LANDSLIDE WIN 96 - 50 AND TO MY BABY GURRRL @shelomisanders FOR A GREAT START TO WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN READY FOR! 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀 GREAT GAME 🏀🏀🏀 #ladybulldogs #proudmom #basketballmom"
Pilar's excitement and pride are justified, as Shelomi's decision to join Alabama A&M was met with some initial uncertainty. Her father, Coach Prime, was hesitant about her transfer from Colorado. However, after some family drama, both made peace with the decision, and now Shelomi is making her mark on the court. She is off to a promising start this season, and the Sanders family has every reason to celebrate her success.
Pilar Sanders is Shelomi Sanders' strongest supporter
Coach Prime's ex-wife, Pilar Sanders, has been a constant source of support for her daughter, Shelomi Sanders, through her college basketball journey. In a YouTube video posted on PilarSandersTV in April 2023, Shelomi received loads of love from fans as her brother Shedeur Sanders headed to the first CU Buffs spring game. It was a touching moment for Pilar, who saw her daughter’s natural charisma off the field.
“Shelomi, she’s such a star,” Pilar said after witnessing her daughter effortlessly interact with fans.
Shelomi, the newest addition to the Alabama A&M Lady Bulldogs, had previously faced challenges while at Colorado. Pilar openly defended Shelomi’s decision to transfer, even when her father, Coach Prime, was uncertain about it. Taking a different stance, Pilar wholeheartedly supported her daughter, who wanted to leave what Pilar described as a "toxic environment."
As the season unfolds, Shelomi Sanders has the support of her mother, who is taking every opportunity to share Bossy's accomplishments on social media and proudly celebrating her strong start on the court.
