Three senior student athletes at Wenonah High School have received full scholarships to play basketball and continue their education at two institutions of higher learning. On Wednesday, April 16, members of their families, their coaches, Principal Regina Carr-Hope, the school’s assistant principals, and staff gathered to witness the event. Jameka Holmes, MVP of the 5A final game for the Alabama State Championship, signed to play for Alabama State University. Hoops standouts Aja Cumbie and Jeda Doss committed to play at Chattanooga State Community College.
This eventful day caps a stellar season for the Lady Dragons team, the 5A Alabama State Champion.
Later on Wednesday, at the Alabama Sports Writers Association Mr./Miss Basketball Awards banquet, Jameka Holmes placed in the top three for Miss Basketball. Following that celebration in Montgomery, the Lady Dragons returned for the Birmingham Athletics Partnership (BAP) awards banquet. There the Lady Dragons were named girls’ Team of the Year, their head coach Emanuel Bell was named Coach of the Year, and Jameka and Aja were both named to the All City Basketball Team.
