George Washington’s Kalissa Lacy was set to embark on a college basketball career at Morehead State after signing her national letter-of-intent to play for the Eagles back in November 2020.
But less than a month after Lacy’s standout career with the Patriots came to an end, Eagles’ head coach Greg Todd accepted the same position at Eastern Kentucky.
Lacy is following through with her plan to play for Todd, and after being granted her release from Morehead State last week, the 2020 Mary Ostrowski Award winner has joined the EKU program.
Nitroâs Baylee Goins (15) is double-teamed by Winfieldâs Kaitlyn Sayre (15) and Lindsey Moore. Goins and Fairmont Senior junior Marley Washenitz were named by the West Virginia Sports Writers Association as co-winners of the Mary Ostrowski Award as girls basketball player of the year.

The path to success doesn’t always have to be a solo mission.
Amongst a crowded field of talented high school girls basketball players, two players in particular stood out to a point where they were considered equal in the eyes of the West Virginia Sports Writers Association which announced on Friday that Nitro senior Baylee Goins and Fairmont Senior junior Marley Washenitz are the co-recipients of the Mary Ostrowski Award.
The Mary Ostrowski Award, named after the legendary Parkersburg Catholic standout, is given annually to the state’s best high school girls basketball player. After a tie in votes and proceeding tiebreakers, the support for Goins and Washenitz remained equally deadlocked.
