GLEASON (September 6) — Family, friends, teammates, coaches and teachers gathered in the Gleason High School gymnasium Friday to see senior Kenady Atkins put pen to paper and commit to play basketball for the Freed-Hardeman University Lady Lions.
The Lady Bulldog standout led her team in numerous categories last season, including points (374), points per game (12.1), three-pointers (52), free throws (96), free throw percentage (83 percent), assists (85) and assists per game (2.7). She shot 40 percent from the field, including 35 percent from beyond the arc, and had 86 total rebounds, 31 steals and five blocks.
Atkins’ path mirrors that of her mother, Kara (Sanders) Atkins (now an elementary teacher at Gleason), who earned Miss Basketball honors as a Lady Bulldog and First-Team All-American honors as a Lady Lion.
