Robin Hendrix

A 1978 graduate of Kokomo’s Haworth High School, Robin Hendrix was one of the pioneers of women’s basketball in Howard County,
scoring 986 points in just three varsity seasons.

A dominating post player, she began her college career at Truett-McConnell College, where she led the team to the National Junior College
Athletic Association Tournament championship in 1980, earning MVP and first team All-American honors. The school retired her No. 52
jersey in 2005.

Hendrix continued on to play two seasons at Middle Tennessee State University, where she was named first team All-Ohio Valley
Conference in ’81 after averaging 19.7 points and 15.4 rebounds. She still owns the OVC’s career record for average rebounds per game at
13.8 and her impressive single game mark of 27 rebounds against Tennessee State remains untouched. She averaged 17.7 points during her
career, a total that ranks fifth best ever at Middle Tennessee State.

Hendrix became Howard County’s first player to compete as a professional in Europe and later returned to Kokomo to embark on a career as
a firefighter.
