LMU Women’s Basketball Signee Qualifies for Indiana Top-40

HARROGATE, TN – Lincoln Memorial University women’s basketball signee Andi Winney has been named to Hoosier Basketball Magazine’s Top 40 Girls making her eligible to try out for the Indiana All-Star team that will play in the Indiana vs. Kentucky all-star game this year. 

A native of Yorktown, Indiana, Winney became the first recruit to sign early with Lincoln Memorial University for the 2006-07 season back in November of 2005.  Since that time, the 6’0” Indiana high school basketball standout has added to an already impressive resume by putting together the best numbers of her career in her senior season with the Yorktown Lady Tigers.

This year Winney hit an all-time best 60.8% of her shots from the field, 67.1% from the free throw line, scored a season best 434 points this year for an average of 20.7% points per game and pulled 12 rebounds per outing. 

This year’s stats combined with the voting of the Indiana Coaches of Girls Sports Association Coaches Poll drew the attention of Gary Donna, the person responsible for compiling this year’s Hoosier Basketball Magazine TABS Top 40 Senior Girls.

Two sessions of the Top 40 Workout will be hosted by Hoosier Basketball Magazine in conjunction with the IHSAA and the IBCA on Sunday, March 12 at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Twenty girls of the Top 40, primarily from northern and southern Indiana, will participate in the first session (1:00-3:00pm EST).  The remaining 20 girls of the Top 40, primarily from central Indiana, will compete during the second session (3:30-5:30 pm EST).  Ten alternates will also participate in drills and scrimmages-five in each session.
