Kristy Henderson is a 5'8' guard from Northeast Junior College in Sterling, Colorado where she scored a season high of 25 points in a 75-68 victory over Casper College. The Denver, Colorado native helped lead her team in the Region IX basketball tournament as she scored 23 points in a 70-66 semifinal win over Western Nebraska and a 17 points in a 73-67 win over Miles Community College (Miles City, MT). On the season, Kristy averaged 13.7 points and 2.7 assists per contest while leading the conference in steals at five per game. She plans on majoring in Criminal Justice with a minor in Communications at the University of Great Falls when she enrolls in the fall.
Christina Brennan, Henderson's teammate at Northeast Junior College, will also be joining the Argos women's basketball program. The 5'10" forward from Colorado Springs, Colorado added 21 points in a 84-65 win against Yavapai College (AZ). She averaged 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game for the Plainswomen this past season. In high school, Brennan averaged 15 points per game while earning First Team All-Conference and Honorable Mention All-State honors in leading Widefield High to the Southern County Championship. Christina plans on majorining in Math at the University of Great Falls.
Henderson and Brennan join their former teammate at NJC, Shorty Ramos at the Univeristy of Great Falls where the trio led the Plainswomen to a 30-2 record for the #8 Junior College team in the country and a runner-up finish at the Region IX tournament in Norfolk, Nebraska.
"We are thrilled that both Kristy and Christina have decided to join our program," said University of Great Falls women's basketball coach Shawn Chaffin. "These two players will make a major impact for our program. Kristy was one of the top scoring guards in Region IX and had some Division I opportunities, and Christina's numbers do not do her justice as she suffered a shoulder injury that affected her output for the last two months of the season. Kristy and Christina are both tough minded physical players who come from winning programs with different strengths. Christina can really stretch the floor with her three point shot and has good footwork and good upper body strength to post up smaller guards. Kristy is electric off the dribble and has worked hard to improve her three point shot as evidenced by hitting two big three's against Western Nebraska ."
"I visited several schools but my visit to Great Falls made me feel so comfortable and at peace that it was hard to reject. I am really blessed to have signed with the program and I am excited for the upcoming season," said Henderson.
"I am definitely excited that I am continuing my basketball career at the University of Great Falls," said Brennan. "I can't wait to start playing with my new teammates but also I am really glad Kristy and Shorty will be with me so we can continue our success together."
