Head Coach: Christie Jennings
20-21 Record: 23-6
Head coach Christie Jennings enters the new season with some senior leadership and young players who are eager to take the floor and show what they are capable of doing. “We are a good mix of experience and youth,” said coach Jennings. “If we can stay healthy, we can make a run in March.” Shayla Wofford (6-2, Sr.) averaged 8.3 points and 6.3 rebounds last season and is expected to have similar or better numbers as a senior. Wofford is a four-year starter and will play center while Amaya Frizell (5-5, Sr.) starts at guard. Frizell averaged 12.8 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game a year ago. Frizell returns as the teams leading scorer. Also look for Carizma Nelson (5-5, Sr.) who averaged 3.7 points and 1.8 assists as a junior. The trio of seniors will be tough to handle for opponents this season. Makaviya Nelson (5-4, So.) averaged 5.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists as a freshman. Sania Richardson (5-4, Fr.) is a dynamic player and excellent teammate. Richardson has already received interest from Division I schools. Richardson is open a lot of eyes this season. Jamieson Emarthle (5-9, So.) and Jakobi Williams (5-9, So.) are two sophomores expected to make a big impact this year. Williams averaged 2.4 points as a freshman, while Emarthle was good for 1.5 points a game.
