Spring Valley’s Asia Dozier named Gatorade SC Player of the Year

March 14, 2012 By

Spring Valley High School senior and Lady Vikings standout Asia Dozier is the 2011-2012 Gatorade South Carolina Player of the Year for girls basketball.

The award, given by Gatorade and ESPNHS sports magazine, recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the court and distinguishes Asia as South Carolina’s best high school girls basketball player.

She is the second Lady Viking to win the honor; teammate Xylina McDaniel won in 2010-2011. Asia is now a finalist for the prestigious Gatorade National Girls Basketball Player of the Year award, which will be announced later this month.

The 5-foot-11 senior guard led the Lady Vikings to a 21-5 record and the second round of the Class 4A state tournament this past season. Asia averaged 18.6 points, 4.5 assists, 4.0 steals and 3.8 rebounds per game. A four-time member of the All-State team, she was a three-time pick for the Elite Five by the South Carolina Basketball Coaches Association. The Lady Vikings won the state 4A championship in 2010 and 2011.

Asia has maintained a 4.34 GPA in the classroom and represents one of the state’s top academic candidates in meeting the Gatorade Award’s broad criteria. She has volunteered locally on behalf of a children’s museum, youth basketball programs and has raised money for cancer research.

Asia has signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball on an athletic scholarship at the University of South Carolina this fall.
