"She got what she wanted, contract wise," said Steve Harold, GSC Lady Pioneers head coach.
 Denae Dobbins heading to Europe The contract provides for living expenses including a house and car, in addition to her salary. "I think it'll be a wonderful opportunity for her," Harold said. "She'll get to do something she loves to do and get paid for it." Dobbins was unavailable over the July 4th holiday and is leaving for vacation this week. She participated in an invitation-only try out in Boston last month and subsequently signed with the Coates Sports Management agency. Within days of signing with the agency, four European teams offered the former Lady Pioneers center a contract to play professional basketball in Europe. Negotiations have been ongoing since. Harold has said previously that Dobbins' is a player with outstanding skills uncommon for a player of her stature. She is 6'-6" tall. Dobbins lead the Lady Pioneers to unprecedented success in just two years at the school. Among her many accomplishments the school had a record setting 30-win season, and earned two appearances in the Division II national tournaments. Dobbins is a school record holder in blocked shots and "double-doubles." Denae Dobbins is the daughter of David and Deborah Dobbins of Lower Cedar Creek, Gilmer County.
