Kim Scamman, daughter of Brenda Scamman and the late Steve Scamman, Rock Port, was recently named to the KMA Sports Hall of Fame.

The Rock Port multi-sport star, Scamman led the state in rebounding in both her junior and senior seasons. She was also the top scorer in the state as a junior, averaging 28.1 points per game while leading the Jays to a third place state finish.

Scamman set records for all classes with the most points in a state tournament game with 47 and broke the all class record for most points in a state tournament with 123. Kim’s brother Cory presented her into the KMA Sports Hall of Fame.

“One word I would describe her is competitive and probably more like ultra-competitive,” Cory Scamman said. “She is so competitive she will not let any of my kids win any board games or playing HORSE when we have our get togethers. It doesn’t matter how old they are.”

Kim, who also placed fifth in the state as an individual in golf and owned multiple school records in track, went on to Northwest Missouri State where she was among the top 15 scorers in program history.

“There are so many lessons that you learn in sports,” Kim Scamman said. “I think you can learn so many things that can then be applied in life. I had a great time playing sports. It’s been a very positive influence in my life, and I enjoyed every part of it.”
