"Just the beginning Mija": Laura Govan beams with pride as daughter Hamiley Arenas receives freshman All-American honor

Gilbert Arenas' ex-wife Laura Govan shared a heartwarming post on Sunday for her youngest daughter, Hamiley, who concluded her freshman year at Notre Dame Sherman Oaks and received the freshman All-American honor.

Govan expressed pride in Hamiley's achievement and thanked coach Jena Laolagi:

''SO PROUD OF YOU ~ THE LATE WORK OUTS THE 2 ADAYS THE CHALLENGES YHE DOUBLE TRIPLE TEAMS 585 points and missed 3 season games … NOT BAD KIDDIO. As A FRESHMAN … #MylittleHooper Thank You Coach @coachjena55 Gor Allowing n Pushing @hamileyarenas0 To the Best she can Be. So Many More Years to Come. Just The Beginning Mija … #GymRat 👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽🙌🏽 For The Love BasketBall," the post was captioned by Govan.

Hamiley Arenas was the silver lining for Notre Dame in an otherwise underwhelming season. The Sherman Oaks finished the season with a 12-16 overall record and a 0-10 mark in the California Southern Section Mission Basketball.

Arenas played 25 games in her first season and averaged a double-double. She averaged 23.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.8 times steals and 0.9 blocks per contest.

Her father, Gilbert Arenas, was present for the first game of her high school season, where she recorded a double-double. The former Memphis Grizzlies guard shared some highlights on his Instagram page on Nov. 21:

"@hamileyarenas0 With her 27 points and 13 rebounds high-school Debut 🔥🔥 #nortedameGirl," he captioned the post.

The 2002-03 NBA Most Improved Player also shared a post last month after Hamiley Arenas made it to the Scouting Report second-team All-State:

"🗣️Lets Go @hamileyarenas0 Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥 Freshman Stomping with the big DOGS #Allstate," Gilbert Arenas captioned his post.
