Bogalusa High School’s Deranique Lee

Bogalusa High School’s Deranique Lee is a senior.

Lee plays basketball for the Bogalusa and is a center for the Lady Jacks.

“Deranique Lee is one of two of my seniors on my team this year,” Bogalusa girls basketball coach Cornell Owens said. “She’s a great kid, quiet, soft spoken, but a leader in her own way. She is a very skilled basketball player, hopefully COVID doesn’t cut her season short. Hopefully she gets her chance to have a great successful senior season.”
