Class of 1981

Lisa was one of the first stellar women’s basketball players at Apex High School. During her four varsity seasons, she became a dominant force inside as a scorer and rebounder. Her career highlight came when playing back-to-back nights — Lisa scored 37 points one night and 39 points the next night to lead Apex to two critical wins. She was the leading scorer and rebounder for Apex throughout her career and was chosen as the team MVP for all 4 seasons. Lisa was selected to the All-Conference and All Metro teams during each of her final three seasons and led Apex into the state playoffs each of those years.

Lisa continued her playing career at St. Augustine’s college. She continued to have an impact on the basketball community as two of her children, C.J. Leslie and Kiara Leslie, starred at N.C. State University.
