"I would like to thank our seniors, Rictoria Merrick, Tara Oliver, Jawanza Pipkin, Kemberlee Beaty and Tiyrenee Riley for their commitment to this program and their desire to get better every day," said Jackson.
Tatiyana Thomas led in scoring with 18 points. She also had four assists. Merrick followed with 11 points and five rebounds. Hope Chambers had six points, five rebounds and three blocks. Kristiana Evans had six points and six rebounds. Beaty had two points, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks and Riley had two points and two rebounds.
"I would also like to thank our administration staff, support staff, boosters and our community for rallying around us this season," said Jackson. "Last, but not least, my coaching staff, Brent Chambers, an excellent teacher of the game, J.V. Coach Cynthia Ford and Cheretta Ross, who are all former Bulldog basketball players, for helping to instill Bulldog pride in our program. To our up coming seniors, the bar has been set. What will be your legacy? How do you want to be remembered?."
