The trigger to take the big shot and the long shot has always been with Emma Rehkopf. But it wasn’t until mid-season that the Montcalm Community College Centurions freshman began making things click.
At Belding High School, Rehkopf worked on and developed her skill for long-range shooting. She got so good at it that her skills and confidence in taking big shots got the attention of Centurions head coach Scott Pedigo.
In her first year with the Centurions, the 5-foot-9-inch-tall guard averaged 8.7 points per game and was shooting 27.8% from the 3-point line. Leading up to MCC’s 115-46 win over Alpena Community College, Rehkopf had only scored a high of eight points in a game. But in that game, Rehkopf caught a spark that had eluded her up to that point. She ended up scoring 18 points, shooting 5-for-7 from the 3-point line.
“I think we’re only scratching the surface with her,” Pedigo said. “She can be a four-year player at a university. Her shooting is going to get better, especially after what she’s learned.”
