Osborne Announces Five Additions to Lady Hawks For 2009-10 Season
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - First-year Huntingdon women’s basketball head coach Tara Osborne has announced the addition of five newcomers who have completed their intent to enroll paperwork and have committed to play basketball for the Lady Hawks next season.
Ashley Bonner (G, Montgomery, Ala./Trinity Presbyterian HS), Devin Douglas (G, Pelham, Ala./Hope Christian School), Jennifer Finley (G, Loachapoka, Ala./Loachapoka HS), Shanita Gauntt (G, Montgomery, Ala./Enterprise-Ozark CC) and Megan Salter (G, Monroeville, Ala./Monroe Academy) have been accepted to Huntingdon and will suit up for the Lady Hawks, beginning in the 2009-10 season.
“I am very happy to have these five commitments,” Osborne said of the newcomers. “They are going to add a whole new level of excitement to our program. They are all great girls, both on and off the court, and are the type of student-athletes who will represent both Huntingdon College and the women’s basketball program with pride.”
Huntingdon finished last season with a 16-12 overall record, including a 7-5 mark in Great South Athletic Conference play. The Lady Hawks also advanced to their first GSAC Tournament Championship game in school history.
