2006 Girls basketball player of year changes plans for college
Beacon Journal correspondent Deanna Stevens reported this item:
Liana Jennings, a Bowling Green State University recruit, will not be playing for the Falcons women's basketball team, Stow girls basketball coach Bob Podges said Tuesday.
"She's looking to go to another school and play basketball," Podges said about Jennings, a 2006 Stow graduate. "At this point she is evaluating her options."
Jennings was named the Akron Beacon Journal Female Basketball Player of the Year in 2006, when she was a second-team All-Ohio and first-team all-district selection.
She averaged 21.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game during her senior year at Stow. She led the Bulldogs to their first state championship game last season.
Jennings was unable to be reached for comment.
