While Friday's win was certainly a team effort, someone pulling more than their own weight was underclassman Shemauria Pope. On Friday she was dialed in and scored 16 points along with four steals. She played a big game the last time she faced Kirkwood, so the team probably should've seen her coming.
Pope and Springfield will be playing in front of their home fans against the Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last time these two faced off, Pope and Co. were forced to settle for a 66-35 loss. Could another big game from her be enough to change the outcome this time? Check MaxPreps after the match for a full breakdown of the game, commentary, and other basketball content.
