BY THEIR FRUITS
The Rust College Lady Bearcats basketball team played their last home game on Saturday, February 16, 2013. These phenomenal ladies played an awesome yet close game against the Concordia College Lady Hornets. In the end, the Lady Bearcats came out on top with a winning score of 71-67. Although the team celebrated their win, it was a bittersweet moment as they had to say goodbye to Ciara Johnson, Marion "Nikki" Lee, and Telicia Gayden. These three women will be graduating on April 28, 2013 and embarking on their various career paths. When asked if she had any final words for next year's Lady Bearcats, 2012-2013 Lady Bearcat Captain and NCAA Milestone Achiever (500 Rebounds) Telicia Gayden stated, To my teammates, I say to you, keep working hard, stay focused and positive! And to my Co-captain Jessica Brown, I challenge you to be the leader that the team will need and help guide the team to a successful season! I love you all and will truly miss y'all!
