Three-sport athlete at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia will continue athletic career in college.

We last checked in on Mo'ne Davis in 2014. She was fresh off becoming the first girl to pitch a shutout and earn a victory at the Little League World Series.

Her exploits earned her a spot on the cover of Sports Illustrated and mentions in nearly every major national media outlet.

Davis continued her athletic career at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy (Philadelphia), playing basketball, soccer and softball.

The Harlem Globetrotters drafted her as a publicity stunt in 2015.

According to the Philadelphia Tribune, her future isn't with the Globetrotters. Instead, she will play softball at Hampton University, a Division I program in Virginia.

Daryl Bell of the Tribune reported that Hampton's communications department was a major factor in her decision.
