Character

A leader both on and off the court, Aundrea Gamble is often looked to as the “voice” of the Arkansas State women’s basketball team. While her play on the court demands respect, her ability to control the locker room and make other players around play better through encouragement and praise has made her an extension of Head Coach Brian Boyer both on and off the court. Gamble is also one of the most popular players on the team and is often looked at as a role model for many of the Red Wolves’ young fans. She is a model student-athlete who gives back to the community and keeps a quiet and calm demeanor while in public.

Community

Gamble volunteers her time to the United Way through several service projects in conjunction with the women’s basketball team. She has worked with City Youth, a local youth ministry program in Jonesboro that provides after-school activities in the city and volunteers at the “Winter Wonderland” Christmas exhibit in Jonesboro during the holiday season. Gamble regularly talks with fans after games and is considered a role model to many young girls around the women’s basketball program.
