Carmille Barnette was named to the 1989-90 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA)/Kodak NCAA Division II All-America Team; the only junior selected to the 10-member team that year. She averaged 28.4 points and 13.8 rebounds that season to rank third and fourth, respectively, in the nation during 1989-90. Barnette still holds four school records, including career scoring average (19.4), season points (596, 1989-90), season scoring average (28.4) and single-game points (43, tied), while ranking second in career scoring with 1,569 points and sixth in career rebounding with 759 rebounds. The three-year starter was named to five All-Tournament teams during her career, while selected the Longwood Female Athlete of the Year and team MVP during both 1989-90 and 1990-91, despite missing 20 games from 1989-91 due to serious injuries. Barnette's number 43 jersey was retired in 1991.
"This honor for me wouldn't have been possible without my former coaches and they are with me today, and I thank you for being here, Shirley Duncan and Loretta Coughlin. I would like to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to play here at Longwood and to be on the basketball team, and helping me excel in athletics over my career. It was a great pleasure to be on the team and thank you for your guidance, as well as your support, not only in athletics, but also in my academics." -- Carmille Barnette '91
