Chenevert signs with Tougaloo College

Morgan City High School basketball standout Casey Chenevert will continue her career on the collegiate level as she has signed with Tougaloo College in Tougaloo, Mississippi.
Chenevert said she was excited.
“It’s an honor to play at the next level,” she said.
She said she watched Tougaloo play at Dillard University in New Orleans and visited the Mississippi college.
“I feel like it’s the best fit for me,” she said.
She also will get to play some in Louisiana in future seasons as Tougaloo competes in the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference
with Dillard, Southern University at New Orleans and Xavier.
Chenevert has been a standout on the court for Morgan City during her time with the Lady Tigers.
The multi-year Class 4A honorable mention All-State selection earned the honor again this season despite playing in
approximately half of Morgan City’s games. She averaged 17.2 points per game this season.
“Strong and very dominate,” Morgan City girls’ basketball coach Taylor Clark described Chenevert as Friday. “Very passionate
about the game. She’s very vocal on the floor. Great leader, sees the floor very well and can definitely put up the points when I needed her to put up points.”
While Clark said Chenevert had to carry the team last year with scoring, this year she was multi-dimensional in that she found others for open shots.
“I think Casey did well with adjusting to not only what I expected from her, but what the team needed from her, so I think she definitely took that goal and ran with it,” Clark said.
At Tougaloo she said she is being looked at as a shooting guard and a point guard, which is basically the same role she
played in high school.
“I would prefer to play shooting guard, but it’s wherever they put me,” she said.
