Before her senior season playing Texas high school girls’ basketball, Jordan Brightwell made the decision to transfer here to Bowie from McKinney Boyd.
On Wednesday in the high school library, Brightwell made another decision on where she wants to play at the collegiate level.
Brightwell, a 6-foot-1 center/power forward combination, signed a National Letter of Intent to play for Tennessee State, a school located in Nashville.
Tennessee State is an NCAA Division I school, affiliated with the Ohio Valley Conference. The Tigers went 12-18 during the 2013-14 season.
The team opened the 2014-15 regular season Friday night at North Carolina State. The roster features another Texan, former Midland High standout Chelsea Hudson.             Tennessee State head coach Larry Joe Inman likes Brightwell’s blue-collar approach to basketball.
“Jordan has a marvelous work ethic that is off the charts,” he said. “She has a nose for the ball and does a great job rebounding. She’s a hustle player who gives extra effort when most players want to let up.” Read more in the weekend Bowie News.
