ARKADELPHIA – Ouachita women's basketball coach Robert Dallimore has announced the signing of Ruby Trammell from Bergman, Arkansas to join the Tigers for the 2024-25 season and beyond.

Trammell has been a part of a state championship and three conference, district, and regional championships during her time at Bergman High School in North Arkansas. She has earned all-state honors twice and has been selected to the all-conference team three times.

On the court, she has averaged 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals per game. She is also a member of the Bergman tennis and track teams, and has been selected to the all-state tennis team three times. Off the court, Trammell has maintained a perfect 4.0 grade points average and is a member of the student council, the National Honor Society, Key Club, and FBLA of which she is the club president.

Ouachita coach Robert Dallimore says, "Ruby is a winner in everything she does on and off the court. She has a tremendous work ethic and toughness that will carry over to OBU. Her basketball IQ, skill level, commitment to team and unselfishness is special. She is committed to playing both ends of the floor and she takes numerous charges every night. I am so excited about Ruby joining our WBB family and I am looking forward to her being here next fall."

Bergman coach James Halitzka says, "Ruby has been a great leader for our team and our school on and off the court. She leads by example putting in more extra time working on her skill set and in the weight room more than most people can imagine… The first thing most people will notice about her is the ability to brighten up the mood in any setting-on the court or in the classroom, and how contagious her personality is to others."
