Cantea Brown
At 6-foot-2, Cantea Brown is a big reason why Meridian Community College is 20-1 and ranked in the top six in the National Junior College Women's Basketball rankings.
Brown is the team's leading scorer at 16.2 points per game. Her ability to post up and hit the outside three are keys behind the Lady Eagles high-scoring ways.
Brown prepped at Meridian High School leading the Lady Wildcats to the Class 5A title game. She averaged 19 points a game for Coach Donald Shirley's team.
