Partee, Lockett and Parker-Vincent to play on

Three members of the Glen Oaks Community College women's basketball program will continue their academic and athletic careers at the four-year level, as sophomores Jordyn Partee, Kennedy Lockett, and Jayla Parker-Vincent have each signed with NCCAA Division II institutions.

The trio leaves Glen Oaks after playing key roles in the Vikings' program over the past two seasons, combining for more than 1,000 career points while bringing experience, versatility, and leadership to the court.

Jordyn Partee – Great Lakes Christian College

Jordyn Partee, a 5-foot-6 forward from Kalamazoo Loy Norrix High School, will continue her career at Great Lakes Christian College, which competes at the NCCAA Division II level.

Partee appeared in 54 games with 43 starts during her Glen Oaks career, totaling 427 points. She stepped into a major role as a sophomore, starting 26 of 27 games and scoring 230 points after posting 197 points as a freshman. She finished her career shooting 33.9 percent from the field and added 14 three-pointers.

During the 2025-26 season, Partee earned All-MCCAA Western Conference Third Team honors, recognizing her growth into one of the Vikings' most consistent contributors. She averaged 8.5 points per game as a sophomore while logging heavy minutes throughout the season.

"Jordyn is the epitome of the kind of player development you can get from junior college if you put your mind to it," said Glen Oaks head coach Emily Hendron. "Over the last two years, we've watched her grow into one of our best players on the court. Her toughness has always been her biggest attribute, but this year that toughness became our team's biggest attribute. We needed a bucket, Jordyn scored it. We needed a stop, she got it. We needed a boost, it came from her.

"We know that toughness will make an instant impact at Great Lakes Christian. They are getting not only a player who will do anything the team needs, but a person who will always pick up her teammates on and off the court. We are so proud of Jordyn and can't wait to see all her future holds."

Kennedy Lockett – Great Lakes Christian College

Joining Partee at Great Lakes Christian College will be Kennedy Lockett, a 5-foot-1 guard from Kalamazoo Loy Norrix High School.

Lockett finished her Glen Oaks career with 466 points across 54 games and 34 starts, establishing herself as a key piece of the Vikings' backcourt. She made an immediate impact as a freshman, scoring 288 points, and followed with 178 points as a sophomore.

Over her career, Lockett shot 32.9 percent from the field and connected on 63 three-pointers, showcasing her ability as a perimeter threat. She averaged 10.7 points per game as a freshman and 6.6 points per game as a sophomore while playing significant minutes in both seasons.

"We're so proud of Kennedy for earning a spot with Great Lakes Christian to continue her academic and athletic careers," said Hendron. "From the moment I took over the program, we knew we had something special with her. While her on-court role changed quite a bit this year, not once did she back away from the challenge.

"The adversity this group faced in their two years at Glen Oaks was definitely not what they planned for, but Kennedy is a shining example of what can happen if you stick with it even when it gets tough. GLCC is getting a great player, but an even better person, and we can't wait to see what impact she has for their program and their community."

Jayla Parker-Vincent – Kuyper College

Jayla Parker-Vincent, a 5-foot-3 guard from Kalamazoo Central High School, will continue her career at Kuyper College, which competes at the NCCAA Division II level.

Parker-Vincent appeared in 53 games during her Glen Oaks career, making eight starts and scoring 146 points while playing over 700 minutes. She recorded 75 points as a freshman and 71 points as a sophomore.

She showed improvement at the free throw line in her final season, shooting 76.5 percent, and finished her career with 11 three-pointers. Parker-Vincent provided valuable depth in the Vikings' backcourt, contributing with her ball-handling and defensive effort.

"Kuyper is getting an exceptional human being in Jayla Parker-Vincent," said Hendron. "She exemplifies what it means to be a team leader on and off the court. She excels in the classroom and truly knows how to be a team-first player. As a captain, she excelled at recognizing when a teammate needed to be picked up.

"This leadership and team-first mentality are what we hope all of our future players embody—Jayla is what it means to be a Viking. We're very excited to watch as she continues to grow in her journey and grateful we were a small part of it."
