One of the core values of college athletics is preparing student-athletes for success in their chosen fields, and Ty'Reona Doucet is one of the best examples in the entire Louisiana Athletics program.
The senior from Ville Platte, in addition to playing at the highest level in her five-year career for the Ragin' Cajuns Women's Basketball program, is active in preparation for a nursing career. That makes perfect sense, considering that "Ty in the Sky" has had more than her share of health issues since joining head coach Garry Brodhead's program.
"She may have stayed in the athletic training area more than on the court sometimes," Brodhead joked after Doucet's most recent stellar performance.
