| Lacey Houston at Eastern Wyoming |
The former Southeast High standout signed with North Platte
Community College in Nebraska after receiving her release from Eastern Wyoming
and will be joining the program in August.
"I asked for my release from Eastern Wyoming because I wasn’t
getting along with the coach,” Houston said. “I had scored about 20 points against
North Platte because they are in our conference and coach there offered me a
full ride. I am going to be playing point guard.”
Houston played off guard and some wing when she was at
Southeast. It took her awhile to get used to running an offense in college.
“It was one of the hardest transitions I ever had to make,”
Houston said. “At two-guard, you always shoot the ball and go to the basket. But
at the one (point guard) you’ve got other people to do that. You’ve got to keep
the offense going and get others involved. It’s a different world out there.”
Houston says her goal is play division I after next season.
If she has a choice she would like to play for the University of North Florida
in Jacksonville. She already has a rapport with the coach there.
“For me the hardest change from high school was the weather out
there. It got to be one degrees and I had never seen anything like that,”
Houston said. “It was unbelievable and switching to the one you have to learn
to get everyone involved and make sure your teammates score.”
