Oxford’s Rowe signs with Cowley

Finishing up a solid high school career, Oxford’s Lacey Rowe will look to continue her success on the hard wood as she recently signed a letter of intent to play basketball at Cowley County Community College.

Rowe, a 5-8 guard, averaged 14.5 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.4 steals, and 3.0 assists for the Lady Wildcats this past season. Three times she has been named an All-District and All-South Central Border League performer, and twice she was named Honorable Mention All-State.

Cowley head coach Stephanie Smith, who guided the Lady Tigers to a record of 23-9 in her first season at the school, is looking forward to having Rowe as part of the Cowley program.

“Lacey is an athletic guard who can do a little bit of everything,” Smith said. “She can score from both outside and inside. She also has the ability to slash to the basket and is a very active rebounder. Her biggest asset is her toughness; she brings physical and mental toughness to the floor. Lacey also has very strong moral values that make her a great person to be around.”
