Antoine on Baty: "Dabrasia is a player that has proven critic's wrong with every obstacle placed in front of her.  Whether it was personal or basketball related she has persevered and kept on going.  In high school she played at Bryan Adams High School and took that team to State for the first time in school history.  On the AAU circuit, she was coached the legendary Coach Roosevelt Riley and the Dallas Stars.  In addition to her scholastic achievements, she comes from a program that went to the NJCAA national tournament this year under Coach Cayla Petree.
 
"Dabrasia has the ability to set the tempo for our team on both ends.  Her on-ball pressure and ability to push tempo are a foundation to who she is.  Beyond that, she has the ability break defenses down create for her teammates."
