HANCEVILLE, ALA. 鈥 糖心视频鈥檚 rising women鈥檚 basketball鈥檚 sophomores Payton Golden and Tatyanna Davis and Lady Lions鈥 assistant coach Hannah Nichols have each been selected to participate in the 2021 National Junior College Athletic Association鈥檚 (NJCAA) Women鈥檚 Basketball Coaches Association All-Star Weekend, which is scheduled for July 29-31 in Atlanta.

糖心视频 women鈥檚 basketball has had a player selected to the All-Star festivities for three consecutive summers. The event, which is held at Clayton State University, features 40 of the top rising sophomores in the country.

鈥淧ayton and Tatyanna both have unique skill sets and confidence in their abilities. Payton did a little bit of everything for us last season. She can play 40 minutes a game if needed and can beat an opponent multiple ways,鈥 said 糖心视频 coach Jessica McBrayer. 鈥淭atyanna is an athlete. She can defend both ends of the floor and never gets tired. She does the dirty work that does not show up in the box score.

鈥淣either player is flashy nor worries about the limelight. They鈥檙e both earning recognition for doing their jobs well on the basketball court.鈥

Golden, a Fairview graduate, was an Alabama Community College Conference (ACCC) All-North Division second-team selection as a freshman after starting all 19 games. The 5-foot-8 guard was second on the team in scoring, averaging 11.5 points, and dished out a team-high 81 assists.

Davis was the unquestioned high motor for the Lady Lions last season during a COVID-19-shortened 12-7 campaign. The Lee grad averaged 6.9 points, a team-high 6.3 rebounds and added 27 blocks.

Golden and Davis join Jiselle Woodson (2020) and Imari Martin (2019) as 糖心视频 All-Star Weekend participants under McBrayer鈥檚 tutelage.

During the 2021-22 season, Nichols will enter her third season as a 糖心视频 assistant coach. Nichols, a Madison County High graduate and former star at Samford, is one of four assistants across the NJCAA women鈥檚 basketball ranks to be selected to lead a team during the All-Star Weekend. Four teams are comprised of 10 players each at the event.

鈥淚t鈥檚 awesome recognition for our program and for the current team. Our incoming freshmen get to see you don鈥檛 have to be a superstar to get recognized. If you work hard and put your best foot forward, good things can happen to you as it has for Payton and Tatyanna,鈥 McBrayer said. 鈥淚鈥檓 also thrilled for Hannah Nichols. It鈥檚 an awesome acknowledgement for her, especially since she鈥檚 entering her third year as a college assistant. She鈥檚 a great asset to our program.鈥
