Sam Houston is leading the pack in getting its girls into school. The Hurricanes are led by coach, Milyse Lampkin, and she is obviously doing something right. Recent Hurricanes going D1 include former pro and UT standout, *Annisa Hastings. Another former Longhorn , Tai Dillard, played for the Hurricanes when they were known as the Cherokees. Dillard also played for the Silver Stars and is currently an asst. coach at UTSA. Eventhough Hastings and Dillard did not play for Lampkin, the tradition continues. More recent Hurricanes matriculating to the big time are:
- Sarah Miles- 2007-West Virginia
- Chanice Scott-2008- Tulsa
The next Hurricane to join this list will be 2010 player, Kiante Ageous. Better known as KiKi, she is already being heavily pursued by Big 12 powers. I ranked KiKi as the 8th best player in the city a few weeks ago. I immediately was in contact with three college basketball coaches who all agreed that I had it wrong. They all thought KiKi was one of the top 3 players in the city. She definitely has the upside to be an outstanding player. She will undoubtedly keep the Hurricanes in the forefront in sending players to college.
*(Hastings is following in Coach Lampkin's footsteps by joining the San Antonio coaching ranks. Hastings is trying to turn around the Fox Tech program as the head girls basketball coach.)
