A native of Dawson Springs, Kentucky, Casey came to Oakland City University on a basketball scholarship after an outstanding high school 
career. At the high school level, she played basketball, softball, and ran cross country. 
     “When coach recruited me and I came for my campus visit, I liked the campus atmosphere and the home-like feeling I had when I was here,” stated Casey. “I am blessed to have been a part of a winning program, learn more about basketball, and have great teammates and coaches.”
     A four-year starter for the Mighty Oaks, she set nearly every record for three-point shooting during her time in the blue and white. Her season total of 81 made threes in the 1996-97 season stood as the record until it was passed in 2005-06 by Chelsea Miller, and now sits in fourth place. Her career total of 216 made three pointers in now third all time, while her 1,444 points is fifth all time. At the time of her graduation, she was the third highest scorer in OCU women’s basketball history. 
     She was more than just a shooter, as is proven by the fact that she still is the career record holder in both assists and steals, handing out 462 assists while nabbing 265 steals. 
     Following her graduation in 2000, when she earned a BS in biology, she returned to Dawson Springs High School as a science teacher, and then moved on to teach at Madisonville-North Hopkins High School, where she remains. 
     Casey is married to her husband Greg LaGrange, a native of Evansville, Indiana, who won a state championship in soccer at Evansville Memorial High School. They were married in 2002, and have three children, Camryn, a 19-year old freshman at Western Kentucky University, Kirk, a 16-year old, and 10-year old Kenna.
     “I am excited about going into the Hall of Fame.” Casey said when asked about what it means to be joining this prestigious group of former OCU greats. “It brings back a lot of memories and it is nice to be remembered.”
