SMCC Women’s Basketball Player Signs Letter of Intent
Gianne “G” Fleming a 6’1” Guard on the Cougar Women’s Basketball team is taking her game to the next level. She has signed a Letter of Intent to play for Coach Yolanda Wells-Broughton and the Texas Southern Tigers. Texas Southern University is a Division I program in Houston, Texas and competes in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Fleming will join Wells-Broughton in her 3rd season as the Lady Tigers coach.
“G” Fleming was named to the NJCAA Pre-Season All-America team. As a freshman at South Mountain C.C. Fleming averaged 15.1 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists for the Cougars. Fleming was also named 2nd Team All Region 1 Division II in the ACCAC during the 2008-2009 campaign. She will be counted on this season to contribute to Coach Sawyer’s SMCC team as they push for an ACCAC Conference Title and a berth into the NJCAA National Championships. The skills and lessons learned this season will groom her for the tough competitive conference she will be playing in during the 2010-2011 seasons. Coach Sawyer and her coaching staff goal is to prepare each player to play beyond the JUCO level. In Coach Sawyer’s career she has sent 27 athletes on to a higher level, with 6 being named All-American. When all is said and done “G” Fleming will be her 28th prospect to play at the next level and if predictions come true her 7th All-American.
