MONROE, La. – ULM women's basketball coach
Brooks Donald Williams Wednesday afternoon announced the signing of another highly decorated in-state stand-out to wrap up her first complete ULM recruiting class.
Tequaza "Qua" Chambers, a 5-8 combo-guard from Benton High School and 2020 Louisiana High School Basketball Coaches' Association Most Valuable Player, made it official by signing her National Letter of Intent to play for the Warhawks on Wednesday.
"Qua is special," Williams said. "She is a winner. She has winning habits and comes from an incredible Benton program. Qua is an impact on both ends of the floor. She can disrupt folks defensively and has been able to score at will."
Chambers, who was announced as the Shreveport Times Player of the Year earlier Wednesday, finished off her senior season averaging 20.1 points, 8.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 4.3 steals per game.
Although Chambers' senior year was cut short, her accolades were not. In addition to her MVP honor by the LHSBCA, Chambers was selected to represent the West Team for the LHSBCA All-Star game. In addition, she landed on the MaxPreps All-State First Team, the OTBS All-State First Team and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association All-State First Team. Qua was also named All-District MVP for District 1-5A, All-Parish MVP and All-City MVP.
Chambers was instrumental in guiding the Tigers to winning the 5A Louisiana High School State Championship this season under the guidance of head coach Mary Ward. Chambers and company were the 4A Runners-up in 2019 and Semifinalists in 2018.
"I chose ULM because the coaches made me feel welcomed," Chambers said. "We talked every day and we made a connection. I followed what my heart was telling me to do."
Chambers played AAU Basketball for Coach Dujuan Mcghee with the Louisiana Storms.
