Tough, homegrown guard whose story is bigger than the box score
In her Montana career, Shanae Gilham has been a steady, local guard whose value goes beyond scoring: ESPN lists her at 4.7 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game, while Montana notes she played just 12.5 minutes per game and missed multiple games with recurring knee issues. The differentiator is resilience—she’s a Browning, Montana native and Blackfeet Tribe member who earned respect for her toughness and basketball IQ, but her three ACL tears and rehab battles have also shaped her arc. She’s a fit if you want a gritty, culturally rooted, team-first guard who competes through adversity.
