Hall of Fame
Whether pulling down a rebound in traffic, hitting a tough jump shot or throwing a perfect pass for an assist, women's basketball star Alicia Haney Skinner made it look easy. The smooth 5-foot-10 forward had a knack for filling up a stat sheet, earning her the reputation as one of the most versatile players to ever suit up in an Ozarks' uniform. Skinner remains the program's all-time leader in career rebounds (892) and career assists (425). She is the ninth-leading scorer (1,239) in program history. A native of Ola, Ark., she guided Ozarks to a remarkable 77-42 record during her four-year stretch. From 1991-1995, Skinner proved to be a force in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. She was named to the AIC All-Freshman Team following the 1991-92 season. She followed her freshman campaign by ranking among the AIC's top-10 in rebounding (9.1) and assists (3.9). Her junior season, she guided the Lady Eagles to a program-best 26-6 record and earned Honorable Mention All-AIC. She capped her career with All-AIC honors as a senior, ranking among the top scorers, free throw shooters, rebounders and assist leaders in the league. Her production as an all-around player resulted in impressive career statistics: 10.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game over 116 games. Skinner is the Sales and Marketing Manager at Bridgestone Americas in Russellville. She and her husband, Terry, are the parents of one daughter.
