Girls Basketball: Freedom's All-Time Leading Scorer Dionna Scott Heads to Winston-Salem State

South Riding (June 23, 2011) - Dionna Scott, Freedom High School's all-time leader in points scored, steals and assists, is heading to Winston-Salem State University after leading the Eagles to two state titles in her prep career.

Scott finished with 1,752 points along with 282 steals and 211 assists and helped Freedom win a VHSL Division 3 state title in 2008-09 and a Division 4 state title in 2009-10.

“It was a pleasure having the opportunity to coach Dionna over her entire high school career," said Freedom girls coach Joe Crawford. "Her dedication on the court and in the classroom enabled her to grow into a well rounded young lady. She will be missed by all, but I’m really grateful that she has the opportunity to further her education and basketball career at such a fine university.”

Winston-Salem State is a NCAA Division II school of 6,442 and plays in the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

“We are very excited to have a player like Dionna Scoot join our program here at Winston-Salem State University," said WSSU women's basketball head coach Stephen Joyner, Jr. "As we build this program to be the best in the CIAA and Division II our first task was to recruit young ladies that are well rounded people as well as well as basketball players. Dionna has shown over her high school career that she is willing to go above and beyond both on the court and in the classroom. I look forward to four great years and many more records for this young lady.”
