Ex-Lady Reb Fussell
earns Big 12 honor
Former Obion County Central girls’ basketball standout and current University of Texas sophomore guard Chassidy Fussell was named the Phillips 66 Big 12 Conference Player of the Week last week.
Fussell led Texas to three straight wins and was named Most Valuable Player at the Waikiki Beach Marriott Rainbow Wahine Showdown (Nov. 25-27). She scored a career-high 30 points on 9-of-16 shooting, including a 4-of-9 career-high tying mark from beyond the arc, against No. 22 Virginia.
For the week, she averaged 20.0 points and 3.7 rebounds. Fussell shot 50 percent from the field (21-of-42) and 85.7 percent (12-of-14) from the free throw line.
The recognition marks Fussell’s fourth league honor after earning three freshman of the week accolades last season.
The voting was conducted by a panel of media covering Big 12 women’s basketball.
Fussell and the No. 21 Longhorns return to action on Sunday when they take on No. 8 Tennessee in Knoxville.
