“Carnique had an unbelievable week,” said head coach Bobby Allison. “Her athleticism is something special to watch. She affects the game in so many different ways, from scoring and rebounding to blocking shots and getting out in transition.”

A native of Ann Arbor, Mich., Marks started playing basketball at age 6. She attended Western Guilford High School and currently resides in Jamestown, N.C. The 6’ 1” GTCC sophomore is majoring in child care development.
