As a Lady Titan, Scott earned SCISA 2A All-Region honors during her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons and was named SCISA All-State as a senior. During her final season, she broke Trinity Collegiate's all-time scoring record and surpassed the coveted 1,000-point milestone with a 21-point performance against West Florence. She was selected as the team's Most Valuable Player in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and played a pivotal role in helping Trinity capture its first SCISA 2A State Championship in school history in 2018.

 

"Few individuals understand what it means to be a Lady Titan better than Ayshia Scott," said Roy Boggess, Director of Athletics at Trinity Collegiate School. "She helped build the foundation of our girls basketball program as a student-athlete and has continued to grow as a coach, mentor, and leader. Her passion for developing young people, combined with her knowledge of the game and commitment to excellence, makes her the ideal person to lead this program into the future."

Her ability to connect with young people, develop confidence, teach leadership, and create meaningful relationships has made her a respected figure throughout the basketball community.

 

Her coaching philosophy can be summed up in a simple but powerful belief:

For Scott, coaching extends far beyond wins and losses.

 

"My purpose is to positively impact every athlete who crosses my path," Scott said. "Basketball provides an incredible opportunity to teach life lessons, build confidence, and develop character. I'm honored to return to Trinity Collegiate and invest in the next generation of Lady Titans."
