Carrollton, GA – West Georgia women’s basketball coach Scott Groninger continues to add to his first recruiting class with quality talent, announcing Tuesday the addition of LaGrange-area product Bianca Sands to his 2010-11 squad.
“Bianca is a solid player who will bring a good amount of versatility to our team this year,” Groninger said. “She was a good find and will have a shot at being a solid performer in the Gulf South Conference.”
Sands comes to West Georgia after two years at Eastern Oklahoma State College, learning the college game under the tutelage of head coach Andy Mace. She went to Eastern Oklahoma following a top career at Troup County High School in LaGrange, Ga.
With the Tigers, Sands averaged 7.3 points per game as senior, earning a spot on the Lady Mountaineers’ squad for the past two seasons.
Sands joins fellow signees Valerie Jones, Monica Williams, Ashley Hampton and Krystal Delph as the bulk of the first signing class for Groninger. In addition, the new UWG head coach has secured Shunice Hardy, who was a solid performer two years ago for the Wolves. He and assistant coach Rongi Bethea plan to sign two more players before the start of the 2010-11 academic year.
