In her one season as a member of the Angelina College Lady Roadrunner basketball team, Rexesha Hollis proved herself a valuable asset coming off the bench. The guard/small forward combo made the most of her minutes, picking up big buckets with her slashing, driving style and keeping the team moving while on the floor.

Hollis also did solid work in the classroom, earning a spot on the National Junior College Athletic Association’s Second Team Academic All-American list.

To earn her place on the list, Hollis maintained a grade-point average between 3.8 and 3.9 for the recent academic year.

Hollis, from Klein Collins High School in Houston, majored in Political Science/Business while at Angelina College.

She is the daughter of Lynn and Rex Hollis.
