Sport(s): Women's Basketball
Years at HCJC/TVCC: 2004-06

Though she stood just 5-2, Bobbitt authored a storied career that included big numbers and accomplishments.

In her two years as the floor leader for the Lady Cardinal basketball team, she put together an impressive resume, at the top of which is having been selected the WBCA Junior/Community College Player of the year as a sophomore in 2006.

When she left the college, she had established a school record for career assists with 372. She averaged 16.4 points, 7.53 assists and hit 82.5 percent of her free throws as a sophomore.

The Lady Cardinals also did a lot of winning in the Bobbitt years. They were 60-6 during that time, including a pair of conference championships, a regional title and sixth-place finish at the national tournament in 2006.

Winning didn’t stop for Bobbitt after her TVCC career. She went on to star at the University of Tennessee, where she was the shortest player ever signed by the Lady Vols and helped hall of fame and legendary coach Pat Summitt to a 70-5 record and back-to-back national championships.

She was the 15th overall pick in the 2008 WNBA draft by the Los Angeles Sparks. She also played for the Indiana Fever and Washington Mystics and has played in professional leagues the past several years.
