Freshman Forward with Elite Rebounding Pedigree Hits CIAA Stage
As a 6'0" freshman forward for the Winston-Salem State Rams in the 2025-26 season, TaNiya Simms brings high school dominance—averaging 12.4 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks over 95 varsity games at Fairmont High (MaxPreps)—to a Rams squad that finished 25-3 and stormed to the CIAA title game. Her bench spark (2 points in the 67-32 semifinal rout of Claflin) hints at untapped scoring and energy, with rebounding prowess and defensive instincts making her a physical mismatch nightmare. Ideal for teams needing gritty, high-motor bigs who elevate bench production—no injury flags, pure upside.
