Hall of Fame
Some records were never made to be broken and Northwest legend Rhonda "K.K." Mikes set plenty of those during her time in Senatobia.
A graduate of Chattanooga City High School, Mikes made her way to Northwest in 1983 and like many others on this list, quickly made a statement. During her two-year stint in Senatobia, Mikes finished with eight 30-point games and continues to hold the top five single-game scoring records, including a program-best 52 points in the national tournament against Barton County (Kan.) on March 22, 1985.Â
Mikes helped Northwest and coach Harry Adair to back-to-back NJCAA National Tournament berths. After finishing as national runner-ups in 1984, the Lady Rangers compiled a 21-3 overall record and defeated Crowder (Mo.) 86-71 to win the program's only NJCAA national championship in 1985. In the two-year run to a national title, Mikes compiled 1,699 total points scored for an average of 31.5 points per game, two records that continue to stand today.
A two-time NJCAA and Kodak All-American, Mikes signed with the University of Georgia following her Northwest career.
Mikes is being inducted posthumously after passing away on April 21, 2018 in her hometown of Chattanooga.Â
