Julia Blackshell-Fair, Cougars have eyes set on redemption for 2020-21

After months of being away from campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Houston women’s basketball team is glad to be back at its training facility and beginning workouts as the excitement for the 2020-21 season optimistically builds.

“It’s a fantastic time to be a Cougar,” newly hired assistant coach Deneen Parker said on Thursday evening during a Zoom video call with the program’s supporters. “I can’t begin to tell everyone how excited I am to be working with this group of young ladies (and) the staff. It’s a family atmosphere.”

The word excitement was the recurring theme from the Cougars on Thursday.
