Saying Farewell to Fayetteville State’s Women’s Basketball Seniors

The Fayetteville State University Sports Information office does a tremendous job of generating stories for its athletic programs. They don’t wait around for news outlets to ask for ideas; they create them. Here’s the latest scoop from FSUBroncos.com, a Q&A with L’Oreal Price, Randi Watts, Tressa Aughburns and Danielle Russell, the seniors on the Western Division leading Lady Broncos basketball team. Among the highlights:

DR: “I knew I was going to play basketball, because I love the game. I had no idea I was coming to Fayetteville State — I didn’t like them in high school (laughs). But, I love basketball.”

LP: “I knew I was going to be playing basketball, because I was always at the gym in high school. I didn’t know I was going to be at Fayetteville State either. I used to always say I would never go to a CIAA school, but I’m glad I’m here. I love the conference, especially as a transfer, I love the CIAA.”

Q: Why didn’t you want to go to a CIAA school?

LP: “I heard so many negatives about going to a black school. But, you know, I think all the negatives that people used to tell me are actually positives. There’s nothing like going to a historically black college. I don’t think there is any better experience that a student could have. It makes you appreciate your people more and it made me work harder. I love it.”
