A US-born basketball player has celebrated a slam dunk after scoring a degree from a Scottish university while helping his team excel.

Caledonia Gladiators star Prince Onwas graduated with a Masters from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) after two years of juggling studies while playing professional basketball.

The 31-year-old Texan took advantage of a club programme that allows players to study while playing professional basketball.

The club competes with rivals across the UK in the Super League Basketball championships, and European teams in the FIBA Europe Cup.
