Hembera could be Miss Basketball in 2015

Sun - 09 Feb Written by Jim Ecker

Shelby Hembera of Cedar Valley Christian has been an inspiration this season to her teammates, coaches and the close-knit community that cherishes their small private school on the southeast side of Cedar Rapids.

It's not just the astronomical numbers she's produced on the basketball floor, but that's a good place to start.

Hembera, a 6-foot junior, leads the state in scoring and rebounding at 33.2 points and 15.9 rebounds this year. That's all classes - 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A - and nobody else is really close.
