On Saturday, November 14th, the Nash Central Lady Bulldogs basketball team participated in the inaugural “Cancer ***** Jamboree” in Fayettville, North Carolina.
The event was held by former NC State and WNBA player Tynesha Lewis. Lewis, who is a Southwest Edgecombe alum, was a guard at NC State from 1997 to 2001. She was the 21st overall selection in the 2001 WNBA draft by the Houston Comets. Lewis also played for the Charlotte Sting and Minnesota Lynx before retiring in 2007.
All proceeds of the event were donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
