A four-year varsity starter, Alexander has entered her final prep campaign with a more aggressive and confidence attitude on the basketball court. She is averaging 12 points, nine rebounds and shooting 67.7 percent from the floor. A multi-sport athlete, Alexander announced she will play volleyball at Lenoir Community College next fall.

Gators’ head coach Paul Hayes said, “She is tough. She doesn’t mind doing the dirty work as in boxing out and rebounding, posting up in the paint and being one of the primary rim protectors. She is passionate when she plays, and a joy to be around on and off the court.”
