BRIEFS: SEMO WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SIGNS HIGH SCHOOL CENTER

Southeast Missouri State University's women's basketball team landed a high school center Wednesday as the early signing period began.

Tanya Guell averaged 14.8 points and eight rebounds per game last season as a junior at Plymouth (Wis.) High School. She was her team's MVP the past two seasons and earned honorable-mention all-state honors last year.

"We were looking for an inside player who could score and rebound and Tanya has the tools to fill that role on our team," said Southeast coach Ed Arnzen. "She is very athletic and I look forward to seeing how much her game develops during her senior year."
