There comes a time where good things come to an end and for the lady hornet seniors. They were honored and recognized for their outstanding athletic achievements but on and off the court.
First there is Sade Bowen who played only for the lady hornets for a year a half due to injuries. Sade has already experience championship taste when she watched the lady hornets win the MEAC tournament in March 2007 and moved on to the Big Dance. Even though I get to see her played basketball several times during the 2007-2008 season I enjoy her post player presence in the middle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of post player presence you have Thea Littlepage, one the best shot blockers in Lady Hornets history. I will never forget the games when she is always trying to rebound, scoring, and playing very tough defense. Despite getting into early foul trouble in some games, she will always have that great smile and the toughness that will always written that Littlepage is the second best post player right behind Najmah Fauntleroy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You want toughness try Keyhana Wakefield, the next Dwayne Wade of basketball. The reason why I call the transferred from George Mason the D-Wade of hoops is because every time she drives to the hoop, she gets foul and fall to the floor. Not just one game but almost every game. That's why I keep saying, "Fall Down, Get Up Eight." Not only she a very great player, but she brings heavy pressure defense and a offensive player by scoring 500 points in her career against Howard University back on February 9. Since she is a business major maybe she can start her own big business in her hometown or compete against the big boys of business.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but certainly not least is Jameka Smith, the veteran of the Lady Hornets. She has been around the lady hornets since the 2004-2005 basketball season. Even though Jameka is not a scoring player but she is stealing machine when it come to defense. She became the lady hornets all time steals leader, a MEAC Champion, and sometimes a quiet vocal to the team. She understands she will have good games and bad games. Every player should know that Smith has the case of the been there done that issue before when comes to games, practices, making plays. With her family watching her from the stands every game, Jameka has the comfort of being called a winner no matter what the score, stats, or records says.
Congratulations to the lady hornet seniors that were honored on senior night and good luck in your future careers. HORNETS!!!
