FAIRFIELD, Alabama -- Miles women's basketball coach Phillip Wallace, Jr. has added three new student-athletes to his roster for the 2018-19 season. Forward Mya Milner and guards Amya Bryant and Je'Keria Strickland will don the Lady Bears purple and gold in hopes of helping the team make a big push for the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title in the upcoming year.
"We wanted to bring in players who could strengthen our group of young veterans," Wallace said. "Each of them have the skills to be major contributors for us this season and into the future. We can't wait to get them in the gym and watch them go to work."
Milner is 5-foot-11 and played last season at Division I Alabama State. She averaged 5.9 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in 17 games for the Lady Hornets as a freshman. She scored in double figures four times, including a 17-point performance against nationally-ranked Tennessee. Milner played her prep ball at Carver High in Columbus, Ga., where she earned All-City honors as a junior and senior.
Bryant and Strickland will both enter as freshman. Bryant, a 5-foot-6 guard, averaged 13.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.2 steals, and 1.8 assists at Leon High in Tallahassee, Fla. She was a Second Team All-Big Bend pick as a senior after earning Third Team honors as a junior. Strickland is a 5-foot-4 guard that averaged 10.4 points per game at Newnan (Ga.) High last season. She earned Second Team All-Region honors as a junior and was a First Team All-County selection as a senior.
