As senior Shanara Hollinquest wraps up her University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball career, the two coaches who wanted her most coming out of high school are far from surprised at all she’s accomplished.
The Sylacauga, Ala., native was recruited heavily by both Lady Mocs coach Wes Moore and Samford’s Mike Morris. The 6-foot forward picked UTC and has gone on to become one of the best players in the school’s impressive women’s basketball history.
“She’s a great kid, works very hard, and all the success she’s had she’s definitely deserved,” Morris said.
Hollinquest and the Lady Mocs will wrap up their regular season Saturday night at McKenzie Arena against Southern Conference challenger Samford.
The Lady Mocs (20-8, 15-4) have earned at least a share of their 11th SoCon regular-season championship in a row, but the Bulldogs (20-8, 14-5) can share the title with a win.
