Coach's Comment: "Jessica is a mature and intelligent player. She is actually our most experienced player in terms of games played. We are definitely counting on her to be a leader and keep this team focused on what it takes to win at the college level. She was hampered by injuries all last season but still managed to have another great year rebounding the basketball. She is a good athlete and has been one of the top-2 rebounders in the conference since arriving at Bryan. She also is a good teammate. She takes pride in her passing and her screening ability. She does a lot of little things to help us win."
