The storyline of Saturday’s game against Marshall was not that Southern Miss would fall to the No. 9 seed in the Conference USA tournament starting on March 9. It was about the commemoration of a woman that despite not being on the court anymore, her impact would never leave women’s basketball and Southern Miss as a whole.
Thank you, Mrs. Shirley.
It was not that you covered women’s basketball, tennis, volleyball, track & field and cross country for several years.
You were not just the first female inducted into the Southern Miss Sports Hall of Fame.
