Monarchs Sign Smith and Skiba
On April 24th, the Macomb Women's basketball team had two new freshman signees, Meredith Smith from Utica Ford High School and Jamie Skiba from Utica High School. Along with the new freshman, five returning players also signed their letters of intent. Korea Jackson (Mount Clemens) and Lauren Quinn will be listed as freshman but both were with the team last year, Jackson had season ending surgery and Quinn was the team manager. The returning sophomores are Cassie Patrick (Fraser), Amanda Theut (Cardinal Mooney), and Kisha Adray (Anchor Bay).
Coach Lamb is extremely excited about the way the team is forming. "The two recruits will fit in nicely with what we are trying to accomplish next season. Meredith is a lethal outside shooter and should be able to stretch the defense, and Jamie is an excellent athlete that can defend and will hopefully bring some versatility to the backcourt," said Lamb. Also the additions of Jackson and Quinn should add some needed speed to the Monarchs guards, who plan on pushing the tempo next season. "The core group that we have coming back is ideal for the type of uptempo style we hope to showcase next season. We are still actively recruiting a lot of other parts that we hope to bring into the program, but we feel like the future is very bright with the talent we have assembled so far!"
