A proud graduate of Oscar Dean Wyatt High School in 2005, Coach Winston was a standout athlete, earning all-district and state honors in basketball, volleyball, and track and field. Her passion for basketball led her to Southwestern Christian College, where she made her mark as a member of the Lady Rams Basketball Program. During her time there, she ranked #18 in the nation for scoring, averaging an impressive 20 points per game while shooting 50% from the field. Her contributions on the court were matched by her academic excellence, as she achieved Dean’s List honors with a stellar 3.8 GPA.

Continuing her collegiate career at Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Coach Winston was recognized as an All-Conference and All-Tournament team honoree in the Red River Conference. She consistently demonstrated her prowess on the court, leading the Lady Warriors with averages of 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 4 steals per game, while also earning multiple Player of the Week accolades.

Coach Winston’s journey took her to Texas A&M International University in Laredo, where she excelled as an NCAA Division II All-American and Academic All-American. Graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in Sociology, she was a first-team all-conference selection and continued to receive recognition for her outstanding performance.

In 2012, Coach Winston returned to her roots at Oscar Dean Wyatt High School, where she began her 11-year career in education and coaching. Her leadership helped the Lady Chaparral basketball team achieve multiple playoff appearances.

As the recruitment coordinator, she played a pivotal role in helping players gain recognition at all levels of collegiate basketball, from NJCAA to NCAA Division I, II, and III.

Following her tenure at North Crowley, Coach Winston took on the role of Head Girls Basketball Coach at Juan Seguin High School in Arlington, Texas. There, she continued to empower her players, helping them secure scholarships and achieve district recognition for their athletic and academic accomplishments.
