Molly Miller remembers being behind the basket at Hammon Student Center during the Lady Bears' special years in the early 2000s.
She was the ball girl for the Southwest Missouri State Lady Bears who were led by the legendary Jackie Stiles and the person she idolized the most — Cheryl Burnett.
Miller was just eight years old back then but the excitement for women's basketball in the area helped her fall in love with the game.
Fast forward to 2019 and Miller just led the Drury Lady Panthers to the Division II Final Four the same year the Lady Bears reached the Division I Sweet 16.
