THE MARYLAND CONNECTION, NATIONAL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY IS TAKING OFF.

SHANNON DOZIER (WASHINGTON,DC/2016)

Watch out know, it looks like Riverdale Baptist has some competition in the state of Maryland. After picking up some of Riverdale players from transfers National Christian Academy should make a good run this year. Shannon Dozier is a big time wing player who can shoot from anywhere on the court. She does it well in transition or just in a set play, which makes her team more dangerous, because when she is hot they are hot and that's when they can really spread the floor.
