STILLWATER — The face of Cowgirl basketball wasn’t recruited by some colleges because those coaches told her she lacked the ability to score behind the arc.
How fitting then that junior Stailee Heard drained a 3-pointer almost effortlessly with four minutes left in the opening quarter to hit the 1,000 career points milestone.
“If you want Stailee to do something, just tell her that she can’t,” Oklahoma State coach Jacie Hoyt said. “That works pretty well as a coach. So no surprises there.”
Heard has, for a while now, proven those doubters wrong, shooting over 41% from 3 last season when she knocked down 59 total.
