The Ohio Basketball Foundation announced that University of Minnesota head women's basketball coach Marlene Stollings will be inducted into the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2015 on May 2, 2015 at the Columbus Convention Center.
Stollings, who is in her first season at the helm of the Golden Gopher women's basketball program, is considered one of the finest scorers to ever play in the basketball-rich state of Ohio. She was named 1993 Ohio Miss Basketball, was a two-time Division III High School Player of the Year and four-time conference Player of the Year at Beaver-Eastern High School, where she also earned Kodak All-American honors her senior season.
Her name currently appears more than 30 times in the Ohio High School Athletic Association record books and she still holds the state high school basketball scoring record (boys and girls) with 3,514 points, ahead of LeBron James' 2,657. For her achievements, Feb. 19 was declared Marlene Stollings Day in Pike County, Ohio.
