After a pair of recent games, Anton Brookshire has set records for both Kickapoo High and Springfield, MO.
Already signed to SEC powerhouse, Mizzou, Anton Brookshire is not done breaking records at Kickapoo High School or even Springfield, MO for that matter. We have had many opportunities to see Brookshire grow through the years. He is a gym rat of The Basketball Movement and is one of the most impressive athletes ever to come through our affiliate Yanders Law AAU program.
There is little Anton can do to surprise any of us here at The Basketball Movement, but we are still prideful when one of our hardest workers hits a milestone, breaks records, or achieves goals.
During the Nixa Invitational Tournament, Anton completed a three-point play that made him the leading scorer in Kickapoo High School history. To those that don’t know, Kickapoo is a historically strong basketball school that has turned out professionals and numerous Division I athletes. Kickapoo won the tournament for good measure.
Brookshire’s other record came a day before when he knocked down a trio of threes that made him Springfield, Missouri’s all-time leading three-point shooter. For everything else Anton provides on the floor; ball security, distribution, scrappy defense, and penetration, this is a really impressive achievement.
Anton Brookshire is now the all-time leading scorer in Kickapoo High's storied history. ALSO, last night he became Springfield, MO's new career 3-point leader. Big time numbers for one of the biggest players ever to come through Southwest MO. @AntBrookshire0 @MizzouHoops 🔥🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/9ksBAvzbS8

Perhaps the most impressive part of these achievements is that there is still plenty of ball to be played. Kickapoo is rolling right now, lead by Brookshire and other big-time athletes of The Basketball Movement such as Isaac Haney, Trevon Brazile, and (when he returns from a minor injury) Cam Liggins. We are excited to see how the team fares in addition to what Anton can continue to achieve on a personal level.
Kickapoo is clicking at the right time and a slow-down does not seem likely. The highlights are flowing on our Instagram as always and there is more on the way.
Congratulations are in order for Anton for his individual achievements. As I’m sure he would tell you, Districts and beyond are where the legacy can flourish. Good luck to Anton and his Kickapoo Chiefs!
