Senior trio’s spark of energy

This year, the App State women’s basketball team has been carried by great plays from their most experienced players. In a year in which the team has looked for leaders, the senior class has provided the spark to do just that.

The Mountaineers have had to deal with different issues ranging from serious injuries to players leaving. Some of the only consistent players to survive the stretch, staying together and stepping into even greater roles, have been senior forwards Bria Carter and Ashley Bassett-Smith and guard Joi Jones.
