Brittany Simmons brings old-school rebounding grit to Eastern Michigan
In the 2008-09 season, Brittany Simmons was a 5-foot-10 guard/forward who appeared in 25 games for Eastern Michigan and made two starts, averaging 1.7 points and 1.6 rebounds while flashing her best game against Detroit with 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. Her value comes less from gaudy scoring and more from hustle, versatility and board work — the kind of glue-player profile coaches love when they need energy, defensive effort and someone willing to do the dirty work. She also arrived with a strong prep résumé as a leading scorer/rebounder and multi-sport athlete.
