Steady F with Career-Best Rebounding Grit for SE Missouri State
Shannon Proffit, a forward for Southeast Missouri State Redhawks, averaged 2.9 points and 1.7 rebounds in the 2002-03 season, playing 29 of 30 games and showcasing durability with a career-best 6 boards against Henderson. Her differentiator isn't flashy scoring but relentless intensity and reliability—she never missed a game due to injury and consistently brought down contested rebounds under pressure. While her stats are modest, her personality traits (disciplined, team-first, resilient) make her a perfect fit for teams needing a steady, low-maintenance forward who elevates through effort over highlight reels. You should care because she’s the quiet engine who keeps the Redhawks grounded when the spotlight fades.
