Vernell Atamah is the Lady Demons’ engine: a high-volume scorer with a 1,000-point punch
In the 2025-26 season, Northwestern State forward Vernell Atamah emerged as a matchup headache, leading the Southland with 19.2 points per game and adding 6.8 rebounds while setting a school record with 93 threes. She’s the kind of fit coaches love: productive, durable, and fearless, with multiple 20-point outings and a reputation for bouncing back quickly after quiet games. Atamah also earned Southland Player of the Year, which tells you the stat line is real and the impact is bigger than the box score.
