The Angelina College women’s basketball program is building something special, and they’re looking for more Lady Roadrunners to help with the process.

Head coach Addie Lees and assistant coach Mercedes Corona will host an “ID Camp” for prospective players from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, April 25 at Shands Gymnasium.

The camp is for all high school players regardless of grade. 

The session’s focus will gear toward skill and player development, along with fundamental work on offense, defense, shooting and game preparation. 

Players attending are asked to bring their own shoes, athletic apparel and water bottles. 

Cost for pre-registration is $30, and the cost for same-day registration is $32.50. 

This past season – the first at AC for Lees and Corona – the Lady Roadrunners landed two players, Aminah Dixon and Timberlyn Washington, on the Region XIV All-Conference superlatives list. Dixon finished as the fifth-leading scorer in the entire conference. 

For further information, contact Addie Lees (alees@angelina.edu) or Mercedes Corona (mcorona@angelina.edu).
