Rashonda Willis of Mexico Named to Blackburn's Women's Basketball Roster

2012 Nov 19

Jen Windmiller, Blackburn College's Head Women Basketball Coach has released the roster for the 2012-2013 season. Among that roster is Rashonda Willis, a Senior at Blackburn, from Mexico, MO.

The season kicks off on November 20, where the Beavers will be facing Central College at 6pm at Blackburn College. Coach Windmiller states: "This season we expect to build upon the progress we started from last season. We have more game experience this year, and are looking to take advantage of that into the conference season. We're playing some tough non-conference teams that will push us to get better and hopefully we will learn from those games and find success in that process. We're looking to have solid contributions from our two senior captains: Kylie Sparks and Rashonda Willis."
