#TANISHA Seymour is the next Bahamian coming out of the Tallulah Falls High School and is now preparing to make her mark on the women’s collegiate basketball circuit.

#Seymour is an 18-year-old 6-foot, 3-inch small/power forward graduate honour student, who is now making her way to Davis and Elkin College in West Virginia where she intends to study nursing.

#Seymour and her dad Leealdo Seymour have been working on her conditioning, speed, strength, mental toughness, game situations and agility.

#During her tenure at Tallulah High, she has averaged 10 points per game, with 12 rebounds, six assists and three blocks.

#Seymour has improved her scoring and rebounding each year as a high school basketball player.

#She is unique in length and can alter shots defensively. Her shot is quick, high and soft on the release, which can make it tough to block and defend.

#She has the athletic ability to serve as a solid college basketball player as she continues to work to reach her full potential.

#Before she went to Tallulah High, her coach Oswaldo Taylor had some things to say about her.

#“Tanisha has great shooting ability and great handles,” he said. “She’s a very high percentage shooter and scorer. Good knowledge of the game and could shoot the three balls.

#“She’s long and has a great wing span, which gives her the advantage to defend small forwards and power forwards.”

#Seymour’s ability has earned her a scholarship to Davis and Elkins College where she will play NCAA division II. She credits a lot of her success to God and her parents Leealdo and Christine Seymour, who made the sacrifices to send her to Tallulah School to fulfil her dream of playing basketball.
