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.

While Jennifer Jackson won’t be swimming for the Nash Central Bulldogs next year, the Nash Central senior will still be a Bulldog.

Jackson will remain a Bulldog as she signed her National Letter of Intent to swim with the Gardner-Webb Runnin’ Bulldogs on Thursday, November 12th. Gardner-Webb is a Division I program, which competes in the Big South conference. Prior to signing with Gardner-Webb, Jackson was also fielding offers from several other competitive Division I programs, such as Campbell University and the University of North Carolina at Asheville

Jackson, who holds several Nash Central and Big East records, has been one of the most distinguished and highly-acclaimed swimmers in the Big East conference since her freshman year in 2012. The future Gardner-Webb swimmer has earned Rocky Mount Telegram All-Area Player of the Year honors for three consecutive years, and she was also a 3A state runner-up in the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Essentially, Jennifer Jackson has definitely been the most accomplished swimmer in the Big East conference for the past several years, and many would even argue that she is the most gifted and talented swimmer to ever compete in the Big East conference.

Now, with the stress of her college recruitment behind her, Jackson will be able to direct full focus and attention to her senior swimming season as she hopes to cap off her illustrious Nash Central career with her most impressive season to date.
