Emilee excels

Congratulations to Cutter Morning Star's Emilee Scroggins. Emilee is the daughter of former Parkers Chapel coach Lee Scroggins. She's come back from a debilitating illness as a sophomore and is finally back up to full steam as a senior.
Her team is 17-5 with 3 of losses to top-ranked ranked Jessieville in Class 3A.
"We had a shot at beating them in two of those games, but they pulled away in the fourth each time," said her father.
Emily is averaging 18 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.1 steals, 2.2 assists and 1.6 blocked shots. She's shooting 54% from 2-pt. range, 34.8 from 3-pt. range and 67% at the line.
"The free throws are driving me nuts," said Lee. "She will hit streaks of 10-15 in a row then go 3 for 10 for a couple of games."
Still, she has her team in second place in the conference. Despite being the focal point of opposing defenses, Emilee has managed to have an outstanding senior season.
"She is seeing almost constant box-and-one or some type of gimmick defenses and she has really done a good job of moving without the ball and taking what the defense gives her," says her proud papa. "I can’t believe it is really coming to an end."
