EDMOND (Dec. 1) – Central Oklahoma women's basketball coach Guy Hardaker recently inked two state standouts to letters-of-intent during the early signing period.

Set to join the Bronchos for the 2010-11 season is Kylie Mayes of Carl Albert High School in Midwest City and Paiten Taylor of Hulbert High School.

The 6-foot-2 Mayes is in her fourth year as a starter with the Titans. She was the Suburban Conference Newcomer of the Year as a freshman and a first-team All-Conference selection the last two years in leading Carl Albert to back-to-back state tournament appearances.

A two-time Conference MVP, the 6-foot Taylor averaged 25.5 points, 12.0 rebounds, 7.7 blocks and 5.3 steals a game last year. She's a three-time All-Conference performer in volleyball who will also play for the Bronchos in that sport and has won a state high jump championship.

“Kylie and Paiten are two fantastic players who both have a chance to come in and really help us next year,” Hardaker said. “We're excited about them becoming a part of our UCO family and look forward to having them in the program.”
