OZARK — Makaiya Brooks puts up double-digit points on a nightly basis for Central High School. She’s scored so much during her career she has moved into 6th all-time in SPS scoring with 1,751 points only four games into her senior season.

Not that she was aware she was among Springfield’s greats until recently, however.

“At first I didn’t even know,” Brooks said. “Then someone put it on Twitter. It’s amazing to even be in this position.”

The college scene became aware of her scoring ability even before she knew she was on the list.
