JACKSON, Miss. – Lady Eagle senior guard Domonique Davis was tabbed as a Gillom Trophy Finalist for the second time in her career, the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum announced today. The Gillom Trophy is awarded annually to the most outstanding women's college basketball players in the state of Mississippi and is named for Peggie Gillom-Granderson.
Davis, a native of DeRidder, La., is in her third season in the Hub City and leads the Lady Eagles with 19.7 points per game for a total of 512 points in 26 games so far. Davis joined Southern Miss' 1,000-point club this season and currently sits 10 points out of the top 10 in all-time Southern Miss scorers.
She has scored in double figures in 23 games this season, including 13 games of 20+ and three with 30+ points. The Sun Belt Conference Preseason Player of the Year and two-time First Team All-Conference Selection cemented her legacy as a Lady Eagle with a 25-point, five-assist performance in Southern Miss' upset of No. 19 Ole Miss earlier this season.
Davis is joined by fellow finalists Mississippi State's Jessika Carter and Ole Miss' Marquesha Davis.
The three finalists and their coaches will be recognized at a luncheon and program on Monday, March 11th at the Golden Moon Casino. Hall of Famer Gerald Glass will be the featured speaker for the event. The luncheon is open to the public, but tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets are on sale now online at msfame.com or by calling the Hall of Fame offices at 601-982-8264. If you cannot attend in person, the event will be live-streamed on the Hall of Fame website.
All proceeds from the event benefit the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The Howell and Gillom Trophies are a part of the Outstanding Player Awards Series which also recognizes the top college athlete in football with the C Spire Conerly Trophy and the top college baseball player with the Ferriss Trophy presented by MBCI and Pearl River Resort.
