JACKSON- Fresh off a regular season title and an appearance in the Southern Athletic Association title game, the Millsaps women's basketball team placed three players on the All-Conference team. 

Sophomore Velvet Johnson and freshmen Makayla Roberson were named to the second-team All-Conference team while freshman Miah Brooks was named to the honorable mention squad. 

Johnson came on strong in the second half of the season, starting the last 11 games and 12 of the last 13. The Majors were 9-3 in her starts. She had a season-high 26 in the win at Hendrix and ended the season averaging 8.3 points per contest. Johnson also has made a name for herself as a lock-down defender, recording three steal games multiple times over the course of the season. 

Roberson burst on the scene as a freshman for the Majors. She made her mark as a top-notch scorer right off the bat for Millsaps, scoring in double figures 18 times in 2012-13. She had a season high 23 in a win over Dallas. Her 10.9 point per game average was tops on the team as she led a balanced Majors' attack. She along with Johnson had a nose for the ball on defense, averaging nearly two steals per game, including four in a win over BSC. 

Brooks was an absolute beast on the glass and the low post this season for the Majors. She led the team with eight rebounds per contest. Her 8.6 boards per game in conference were good for third in the SAA. She had six games of double digit boards including 17 in a win over Oglethorpe and 15 in a win over Rhodes. Her back to back double doubles against Rhodes and Hendrix earned her the conference player of the week award. 

With all three of the award winners coming back, the future is certainly bright in Jackson.
