LU Women add 6-4 post for 2008 season

[Guest coachacola]

BEAUMONT - Chrisan Petrovanie of Lake Country Christian School has signed with Lamar University to continue her education and play women's basketball for the Lady Cardinals, announced head coach Larry Tidwell Tuesday afternoon.

Petrovanie, a 6-4 native of Trinidad, comes to Lamar from LCCS where she has had a very strong senior season. She's averaging 12.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per game, while also dishing out two assists per game. Her work on the defensive end of the floor has also been impressive, averaging 4 blocks and 1.3 steals per game.

In addition to her success at LCCS, Petrovanie is a member of the Lady Lakers Basketball Club of North Texas. She is listed as the No. 102 player in the country and the No. 26 post player by the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report.

"Chrisan brings us an immediate inside presence," Tidwell said. "She is big, strong and mobile and is definitely a shot blocker, which is something we really need. She's only been playing organized basketball for three years, but is very focused and dedicated to becoming the best player possible. She has a tremendous upside."

Heck there is no telling how good this young lady will be. Only three years of organized basketball? Lets see what she looks like three years after playing for coach Tidwell! Don't over look Angie Green. I hear she is really a good ball player.

Ashley Crawford was starting at PG before she blew out her knee.  She may get a medical redshirt.  If this new signing is as raw as I hear, I doubt she starts right away.  Trashanna has been really good at times in the post, and her rebounding and defense complements Brittany well.  Also, 6'3" Nichole Aiken is still on the roster, even though she hasn't played.  I think she's hurt as well and getting a medical redshirt.  She looked really good in the scrimmages.

Yes she has.. 8)

Aiken has decided she no longer wants to play basketball. I believe they have her as a student manager right now. This is probably where Coach Tidwell had a scholarship available to give.

That said, I believe the coaching staff is still hopeful she'll (Aiken) will change her mind in the future and decide she wants to play again. She is very talented!

OMG, they are going to be good real soon.
