Lounette Adkins was the second member of Midwestern’s 1,000-point club and played three stints covering three decades at MSU.
Adkins played an integral role in helping the Lady Indians advance to the Texas Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (TAIAW) Small College Regionals in 1978-79 when she averaged 18.5 points and 9.1 rebounds
After a year away, Adkins returned to average 13.2 points and 9.3 rebounds to help Midwestern to a 22-10 record and a trip to the Southwest Association of Intercollegiate Atheltics for Women Division II Regionals after the Lady Indians finished as TAIAW State runners-up.
Marriage and a move placed a 12-year pause on Adkins’ basketball career, but she returned for her final two years of eligibility in 1993-94 when she was a part of two NAIA Division I National Qualifiers.
Adkins’ 1,395 career points still rates sixth on the MSU annals, while her 839 rebounds are the third most is program history.
Her freshman campaign of 1978-79 still ranks as the second-most prolific season in MSU history in terms of scoring. Adkins scored 611 points, while shooting 58.7 percent from the field.
