Apr. 6—MURRAY, Ky. — After discussions with family and coaches, Oakwood native Katelyn Young put a decision on a final season in a clear way on Thursday.

"I'm Back."

The all-time leading scorer in Murray State women's basketball history and second player to get over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career announced on Twitter that she will return for her final postgrad season.

Young gained that year as part of her first season being cut short by the Covid pandemic and while she graduated from Murray State this season, she is taking graduate courses at the University.

She will be back to guide a team that lost a close game to Missouri State in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and an overtime game to Southern Mississippi in the Women's National Invitational Tournament.
