Wildcats senior Myssiah Dugan signed a letter of intent Wednesday, Feb. 16 to play volleyball at the next level at Southwestern Christian College.
Dugan is the daughter of Stephanie Love and Avery Dugan.
Dugan said she met the coaching staff of the Eagles on Feb. 7, 2022. The senior said she had a chance to tour the campus and meet the head coach of SWCC on that same day.
The senior said she was forthcoming about her injury suffered during basketball season that kept her off the court.
The coaching staff at SWCC do not partake in redshirting players, so Dugan has the opportunity to make the court her freshman year.
The senior Lady Cat, and her new coaching staff, hope Dugan can return when two-a-days roll around later this year.
Dugan said SWCC felt like a good fit for her. In Terrell, the private college has a small-town feel, a quality that attracts Sulphur Springs athletes to JUCOs and other small universities around the country.
The senior said she was elated and cried tears of joy when the coaching staff at SWCC offered her a scholarship.
She was not sure coming off a tough injury suffered during basketball season that she would get then opportunity to play at the next level, let alone getting a scholarship, so the senior calls this a dream come true.
The senior plans to major in criminal law in the hopes of becoming a defense or family attorney.
Dugan’s coach Bailey Dorner said she has seen incredible growth in the three years she has worked with the senior, adding she has put in the work and is an exemplary student on and off the court.
“I’ve seen a lot of growth, not just volleyball-wise but maturity-wise,” Coach Dorner said. “She has grown up a lot and she knows what she wants and she’s gonna work hard for it,” Dugan’s coach said.
Coach Dorner said the senior is both extremely athletic and a hard worker.
The volleyball coach said Dugan did a good solid job reaching her decision.
Coach Dorner said Dugan was a great kid and a great student.
