Lady Buffs Land Amarillo Native Lacey Rice for 2024-25 Campaign

As a huge basketball fan, I’m always excited to see talented young players join the Lady Buffs. And with the latest addition of Amarillo native Lacey Rice, I think we’re in for a real treat.

Lady Buffs’ newest recruit Lacey Rice in action

Rice, a 5'8 guard, brings a wealth of experience to the team, having played for Howard College and Amarillo High School. Her impressive stats, including 69-of-243 (28.4%) from the floor and 27-of-131 (20.6%) from behind the arc, make her a valuable asset to the Lady Buffs.

But it’s not just her skills on the court that make Rice a great addition to the team. Her intelligence, work ethic, and leadership qualities make her a standout player who will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the Lady Buffs.

“Lacey is another young lady that will bring versatility to our team,” said Lady Buffs head coach Josh Prock. “The quality that stands out the most to you when you watch her play is how hard she plays the game. Effort and intensity - two qualities she will bring to the court and will be extremely invaluable to our team moving forward.”

Rice’s high school coach, Jeff Williams, also had high praise for the young player. “Lacey set the standard at AHS for what it looks like to be a student athlete,” he said. “She exemplifies hard work in all facets of her life. She was a leader from day one that brought her best to the gym every day.”

As a fan, it’s exciting to see players like Rice join the Lady Buffs. Her passion, dedication, and natural talent make her a great fit for the team. And with her expected major in Nursing, it’s clear that she’s a well-rounded individual who will make a positive impact both on and off the court.
