DRESDEN (May 21) — Dresden High School basketball standout Rachel Childress will continue her academic and athletic career at Bethel University as a member of the Lady Wildcat basketball team.
She made it official Thursday with a signing ceremony held in front of the high school.
At the event, Childress was also presented with a commemorative ball marking her 1,000th point, scored during the Lady Lions’ February 11 game against Fulton City. Childress finished with 1,055 total points in her high school career.
Lady Lion Head Coach Jonathan West told The Banner, “She’s a great kid and a hard worker. She really developed throughout her career.” He said that she began with lots of potential and “spent a ton of time in the gym in order to become one of the best players in the area.”
