Owensboro Catholic’s Aubrey Randolph has signed with Midway University to continue her basketball and academic career. A standout on the court, Randolph spent five seasons with the Lady Aces, helping them win the 3rd Region Championship in 2022 and advancing to the second round of the State Tournament.
“I liked everyone that has been there, the culture around it, and they were super welcoming whenever I went to visit,” Randolph said. “They are all super close, and they are girls I have known for a while. I have played against them and know how they play.”
It also helps that longtime teammate Karmin Riley will also be attending Midway, even though it wasn’t planned that way.
“It means a lot to continue playing with her. I have known Karmin since fourth grade, so that means a lot to me. I think it’s going to be really fun.”
During the recruitment process, Randolph heard from a few schools in Missouri and Illinois, but the opportunity to stay in her hometown won out. It was after attending an in-depth workout at the end of her sophomore year that Randolph realized she could play collegiately.
“It was a 21-week program that I went through,” Randolph said. “I went to the gym five times a day and did workouts for about an hour and a half.”
Viewing herself as a defensive player, Randolph spent the last few years honing her offensive game. While at Midway, she plans to pursue an academic career in physical therapy.
