North Platte – The North Platte Community College Lady Knights basketball team announced the signing of two athletes to National Letters of Intent, Maddie Seamann of Hershey High School and T’Keyah Stapleton of Omaha Central High School. The two signees are the first of the 2014 class for the Lady Knights.

Seamann, a post player, joins the Lady Knights basketball program after helping lead the Hershey Lady Panthers to a 23-4 record during her senior year, including a SPVA Championship. Seamann averaged 8.5 points and 6.4 rebounds as a senior. During her junior year, the Lady Panthers finished third in Class C2 at the 2013 State Tournament and won the SPVA Tournament. The Lady Panthers also qualified for the 2012 State Tournament during Seamann’s sophomore year.

“Maddie will add depth to the post position on our team,” said head coach Richard Thurin. “I like her competitive spirit.”

Stapleton, a guard, joins the Lady Knights program after helping the Omaha Central Lady Eagles to a 29-1 record and the 2012 State Championship. She was awarded the 2012 Gilson Sixth Man Award for Class A as a senior.

“T’Keyah will add depth to the point guard position,” said Thurin. “I like her quickness and speed and ability to drive the basket and see the floor.”
