FULTON, MS – Jayla Chills was named second-team All-American by the National Junior College Athletic Association when the organization announced its yearly awards on Tuesday.
The sophomore guard from Ripley averaged 19.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.0 assist per game to help lead the Lady Indians (23-5) to their second NJCAA Region 23 championship and national tournament appearance in the past three seasons.
Chills is the third ICC student-athlete to earn NJCAA All-American status this season as she joins men's soccer standout Anthony Fernandez (New Albany) and punter Jeb Millender (Pontotoc).
She is the first Lady Indian to be tabbed All-American since Southeastern Louisiana standout Jameika Hoskins (Aberdeen) was named to the second-team list in 2011-12 season.
