#4 Lady Cats say Goodbye to Cassidy and Kelsie

The number four story of the year takes us to College of the Ozarks and two of the all-time best Lady Cats.  Kelsie Cleeton and Cassidy Johnson will forever be fan favorites to the folks that pack the Howell Keeter Athletic Complex.

The accomplishments of these two ladies are endless: Johnson, the sharpshooter from West Plains, and Cleeton, the girl from Springfield that can seemingly do it all.

Johnson leaves Point Lookout as one of the most accomplished shooters and scorers in Lady Cat History holds the three point mark.  And, Cleeton was a double-double machine.   She holds the all-time school records for both assists and rebounds, an accomplishment that would be rare if ever able to find anywhere else. She also ranks in the top ten in scoring..

The Lady Cats were 116-16 during the four years these ladies were part of the program.

I have said it before and I will say it again.  Coach Becky Mullis has an incredible knack for recruiting talented girls from across the Ozarks, and helping mold them, year in and year out, into one of the best teams in the nation.  But, more important than their success on the court is the quality young women that continue to come out of her program.

Whether you are talking about, on the court or off the court, it gets no better than Kelsie and Cass.
