Her high school coach Phillip Crawford called her a phenomenally smart player.
One of the best ever girls basketball players for Maplewood Richmond Heights, according to her coach Phillis Crawford, is going on to play in at the college level. "She's a phenomenally smart player," he said. "She had a great influence on the girls." Crawford said she should have no problem adjusting to playing in college. Senior, Antonia Lee signed last week to play for Labette Community College in Parsons, KS. She's getting a full ride, and importantly to her, the team plays in the competitive Jayhawk league, and there's a good chance she'll get a shot at moving up to Kanasas State, which has been her dream since she was a little girl. See more photos on Maplewood-Brentwood Facebook. Lee said she visited the campus in December, and …

Senior Antonia Lee had 14 points and was named to the all-tournament team, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a rough start for MRH in what became a 58-43 loss to Cardinal Ritter.
ST. LOUIS – The Maplewood Richmond Heights girls basketball team’s magnificent run through the Cardinal Ritter Christmas Tournament ended in not so exhilarating fashion Wednesday night, as the Blue Devils lost the championship game 58-43, to the tournament host Cardinal Ritter. MRH, which is now 5-4 on the season, nabbed two of its best wins of the season on Monday and Tuesday to reach the championship game, but couldn’t overcome a rough start against red-hot Ritter, which has now won four in a row. “I definitely think it was nerves,” MRH head coach Phil Crawford said. “This was our first championship game, and the girls were a little bit nervous.” And that was clearly a problem in the early going for MRH, which had a number of bad …
