In back-to-back years, the scrappy point guard led her team to the National Junior College championship tournament.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> She parlayed that into an opportunity at Lamar University in Texas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leadership has always been in her DNA. She served three years in the United States Army Reserve. In 1982, Summons returned to Roxbury to serve as the head coach until she left in 1986 for the opportunity at MDC. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last season, the women\u2019s basketball team had the opportunity to fulfill the short-term goal of winning a state championship, but came up short after losing in the quarterfinals of the State Tournament to Chipola College 83-61. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Six sophomores on that team have earned their associate of arts degree from MDC and now have the opportunity to transfer to a four-year school.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Lady Sharks top player, center Jacqueline Blake, who averaged 19.1 points and 10.4 rebounds per game this year while being tabbed to the All State\/ All Region team and the First Team All-Southern Conference team, earned a scholarship to the University of Houston. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cJackie\u2019s versatility will be tremendous, because she can score from inside the paint, off the dribble right outside the paint or from long distance shooting the three ball,\u201d said University of Houston Head Women\u2019s Basketball Coach Ronald Hughey. \u201cJackie has several qualities, but what makes her special is that she\u2019s a leader who cares about being the best at whatever she is involved in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Point guard Ashante Doby, who averaged 8.4 points a game for the Lady Sharks this year, signed with Norfolk University and her high school and backcourt mate, \u00a0Kensha\u2019dra Smith, who averaged 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds, signed with rival North Carolina Central University.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sophomore guard Kayla Guerrero, who played sparingly, will be attending Warner Southern University in Lake Wales, Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two other Lady Sharks are mulling offers. Forward Erika Hall, who averaged 5.3 points and 5.4 rebounds this year, \u00a0is considering offers from Middle Tennessee State University, Johnson C. Smith University, and University of New Orleans. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fellow forward Imari Brown, who averaged 11.2 points and 4.6 rebounds this year, \u00a0is weighing her options between California State University, Dominguez Hills and San Francisco State University. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And those opportunities are what make Summons happy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI believe when students are well- rounded and they understand all the components that it takes to be a true champion in life that they are going to be ultimately successful,\u201dSummons said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Dade College Women&#8217;s\u2019 Basketball Coach Susan Summons ultimate goal is to create champions in life.
