As the first United States’ woman to train at the Royal Military Police Training Centre, Shellie Crandall was determined to make it count
For years, basketball was all Shellie Crandall knew, or even cared about. At Jefferson High School in Jefferson, Ohio, Crandall was the first woman to score 1,000 points and the school’s first four-year varsity letter-winner, leaving school as the leader in career points per game, games played, field goals, free throws, free-throw percentage, assists and steals. Following high school, she took her impressive résumé to Lakeland Community College not necessarily because she loved school, but rather because she loved basketball.
And then in one fleeting moment, it was all taken away.
