One of the most notable names on the Lady Ravens the past two seasons has declared where she will continue her college career.

 

Sophomore Bailey Layman has committed to Rogers State University in Claremore, Oklahoma, following the end of the season.

 

She says playing somewhere closer to home was important.

 

Layman suffered a serious injury early in her freshman season, but returned in the second half and emerged as one of the best young shooters in the KJCCC. Despite shifting to the starting lineup for her sophomore campaign, Layman continued to progress, improving as a defender, and all-around scorer, while remaining one of the most lethal outside shooters in the conference.

 

She has also built a reputation as a clutch player who has converted numerous big shots for the team. She says it's because she plays more relaxed this season.

 

The Lady Ravens have beaten Butler and Barton in back to back weeks, competing for a first round bye in the postseason. Layman says she thinks the team is turning a corner.

 

Bailey leads the Lady Ravens averaging 11 points per game this season, and will be a crucial piece to a potential postseason run in the coming weeks.
