Today's post is written by Jr. Center LaTice Jones:
I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you a little bit about each player on our team. On Monday night, October 26th at 5:30, Meet The Lions will take place at the Leggett and Platt athletic center. I thought I would give you a preview of what you will see when you come out on Monday. So, that being said…
Jasmine is goofy and fun to be around on and off the court. She is a strong, athletic player with a positive attitude. When she talks positively on the court, it is contagious to other players on our team. She is a good friend not only to me, but to all of her teammates.
Tercya is a great all around player. A strong, vocal leader, she has the ability to score from anywhere on the court. She not only tells someone what to do, she also shows them.
Randi is one teammate that I really respect. She is one of the best leaders that we have. She answers a lot of questions. She is very helpful not only to me, but to our entire team. She is the epitome of what it means to be a STUDENT-ATHLETE.
Afton is another great outside shooter. You don’t hear Afton much, as she is quiet too. She has a great approach read she uses to get to the bucket. She likes to ask a lot of questions that will help to better her game. She is another one that is fun to be around off the court (are you noticing a trend?). Our team really enjoys each other and has a ton of fun.
Danielle is another great teammate. On the court, she is a good defender and she knows how to attack the bucket. She is very polite and if she has to say something, it will always come out politely. The 2 of us have a lot in common and we can talk about anything.
Michelle is a good post player. She knows a lot about the program and she helps me whenever I need it on the floor. She is very intense when she plays. If a player asks her for anything or any kind of help, she won’t hesitate to do it.
Lindsey is a strong post player. She plays with a lot of heart and works very hard daily. She is just coming off an injury and her game seems to be getting stronger every day. She is very consistent in her performance.
Jolea is my roommate. She is really goofy and full of life. She is our other senior leader. She helps us with the plays and gives us newcomers good advice. She is also one of our best outside shooters
Myriah is an aggressive defender who is very quick. She is really quick to the basket. She is always excited to play the game of basketball and that’s always a contagious characteristic for a team. She is a person who likes to fun.
Erin is a 6-2 forward. Overall, she is a very supportive person with a quiet demeanor. She is also another good outside shooter, and at the same time she has some nice post moves. She is an overall great and loving person. Her positive attitude is GREAT for our team.
Kelby is a musical breath of fresh air. She is always dancing, singing, or playing her guitar. On the court she works hard and she has a nice jump shot. She is very energetic, just like the rest of my teammates. You should see her backing up Randi at the point.
Scruggs and I have a lot in common. Unfortunately, you will not see her this year due to a knee injury. She is energetic on and off the floor and the team feeds off her energy. She is funny and we often joke around about anything. She often entertains the team with her free-style rapping and story-telling.
Brittany is a little bit harder for me, since she is involved in volleyball. I have not had the opportunity to spend much time with her. She seems very athletic on the volleyball court. I look forward to her joining our team after the volleyball season.
I hope you enjoyed this look into our team from my point of view. Please come out see us play. We look forward to seeing you there!
Until next time…It’s a GREAT day to be a LION!!
