Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University women’s basketball team announced its two fall signees, adding J’Nayah Hall, of Owensboro, Kentucky; and LaKeisha Gregory, of Johnson City, TN to its 2015-16 roster.
She averaged 12 points and 10 rebounds per game last season under head coach Arlando Johnson. Hall, a 2013 second-team all-region pick, was selected to 2014 Kentucky/Indiana All-Star Classic.
In addition, she was named MVP at Rick Bolus’ summer camp.
“J’Nayah will defend the floor 94 feet for 40 minutes a game if that’s what we need,” said Lady Govs head coach Carrie Daniels. “She gives 110 percent effort all the time and just makes things happen. She has the ability to be a difference maker.”
Gregory, a 5-10 guard/forward, enters her senior season at Science Hill nearing 1,000 career points. She averaged 13 points per game and shot 46 percent from three-point range under head coach Keith Turner. Gregory has been a member of two teams that tallied state runner-up finishes.
“LaKeisha is a versatile player who has a certain toughness about her,” Daniels said. “She can rebound the ball from the wing spot, has a nice stroke and will get out and defend you.”
A two-sport athlete, Gregory was named All-Big 7 Conference Hitter of the Year in volleyball.
“These two players are proven winners all the way around and will be bringing us some athleticism and length at the wing. They have played in solid high school and travel programs that know how to win.”
