#10 Shannon Jack

#10 Shannon Jack, Sophomore

Akron, Ohio 

Shannon or Lebron as Coach McGraw calls her is a Sophomore guard from Akron, Ohio and is a returner from last years team. 

As a Freshman Shannon appeared in all 27 games last season and made one start halfway through the season. Shannon averaged 5 points a game and was ranked second on the team in made three pointers at 20 for the season. 

To elaborate on her nick name Bron or Lebron, Shannon attended St. Vincent St. Mary the same high school Lebron James played at. I know most of you were thinking, wow she's Lebron's daughter but no that is not the case. That would be pretty neat if she was though. 

Shannon off the court. Where do I even begin?  If you ever walk by Shannon and think something really smells, well its a 99% chance it's Shannon Jack because she doesn't shower. If we are lucky enough she will shower once a week but sometimes that's even asking to much of her. However all jokes aside Shannon is a great teammate and the Rock is fortunate to have her. 

One last note: Coach McGraw better keep an eye on her because sometimes she thinks she can join the soccer team here at the Rock and be the next soccer star. Just kidding (Sorta)! Shannon is a baller. 

Ballers Unite, right Shan!?
