Shannon Bobbitt

Shannon Denise Bobbitt (born December 6, 1985) is an American professional basketball player, most recently for the WNBA's Washington Mystics.

One of eight children and a Bronx native, New Yorker Bobbitt honed her basketball skills on the neighborhood project courts of Harlem. Following a stellar college career in which 5'2" Bobbitt won two Division I national titles at the University of Tennessee, she entered the WNBA and began her professional basketball career playing point guard for the Los Angeles Sparks.

Bobbitt attended Murry Bergtraum High School in New York, where she helped lead her team to two straight PSAL and State Federation titles.

As a sophomore, she gained attention for her basketball skills, city rankings had her listed as the second-best player. During her junior season, her team went undefeated posting a record of 30–0 before winning the national high school championship. She finished her high school career by helping her team post a 29–1 record, which was good for third in the nation.

The guard decided Junior College was her best option out of high school, so she chose Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas because they had just won a national title.

During the 2005–06 season, Bobbitt handed out 211 assists to rank third in the nation in assists broke the 22-year-old school record at Trinity Valley for her career in that category. She led Trinity Valley to the NJCAA National Tournament and the 2006 Region XIV Championship with a 30–2 record overall and 18–0 mark in conference play.

Bobbitt was the 2006 Women's Basketball Coaches Association Junior College Player of the Year.
