Head Coach Andy Cavins on Lockwood

  • “Jordan has proven her dominance at the biggest moments throughout the season.  Her unmatched performance in a tough Region 14 combined with a historic performance in the National Championship match will be a part of Navarro lore for years to come.  Jordan is a special player that teams and coaches are lucky to have. She has worked hard on the court and in the classroom to prepare herself for success both this year and moving forward.  Jordan is currently being recruited by a myriad of schools from the Big 12, AAC, Mountain West, and SEC and hopes to make her decision in the coming weeks. We are so proud of Jordan’s development this year and look forward to seeing her continue to dominate at her next institution.”
