Susan is the daughter of Jeff and Mona Agesen.

Susan was born and raised in Edgewood and has

always attended Edgewood schools. Many of the

Little Dribbler coaches knew early on that they

were going to have teams capable of going to State

several years in a row as there were several very

good players in Susans age group. However, inju-

ries to key players at inopportune times limited that

to some extent. Beginning in her freshman year she

was playing Varsity and looking excellent. An in-

jury kept her out for her sophomore year where shewould have been of great value to the two seniors

of that season and possibly, with her in there, they

would have beaten McGregor and possibly made a

trip to State. However, the injury kept that out of

the possibilities.

In her junior campaign she helped the team to get

to the second round of the playoffs before running

into a power house in Daingereld. Then came

this past season where Edgewood started the sea-

son looking forward to a deep playoff run. Many

believed from the beginning that we would take

on and beat Winnsboro at least once and share the

district crown. Little did we know we would have to face that same Lady

Raider team in the Regional Finals. That game was the shinning momentof a brilliant High School Basketball career where Agesennetted 34 points

Susan Agesen Signs with Jacksonville Collegeby Gerald Wheelus

and 13 rebounds, 15 of which came in the fourth and

decisive quarter where she hit 7 of 9 from the free

throw line not to mention 5 steals. The girls ran into

a stiff Poth team and lost in the rst round of the nal

four in Austin. However, that did not take away from

the career stats that Susan had accumulated and the

opportunity to play ball at the next level.

After a great deal of consideration and many of-

fers from various levels of Universities and Colleges

all around the states of Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma,

Arkansas, Tennessee, Kansas and Montana; Susanchoose the small school of Jacksonville College in

Jacksonville, TX.

Jacksonville College was her choice due to it being

a Division I Jr. College where she would have Di-

vision I University opportunities. Also Jacksonville

College is a Christian based school that is small and

personable. The 15 to 1 student/professor ratio makes

for a better education and helps kids to become more

academically stable to go on to the bigger Division I

schools. They have a strong science department for

pre-med studie sand that is what Susan will be pursu-

ing. It allows the opportunity to learn and study at a

more amiable speed while attaining the goals of the individual student.
