SFA women’s basketball head coach Mark Kellogg announced on Monday the addition of Chamissa “Missa” Anderson to his staff ahead of the 2021-22 campaign. Anderson joins the Ladyjacks after a four-year stint at Missouri Southern State University, where she served as Assistant Coach/Head JV Coach for the Lions.
“We are thrilled to welcome Missa to Nacogdoches and our SFA Ladyjack family”, said Kellogg. “She has worked tirelessly to become a fantastic coach and recruiter. Her energy, passion and dedication is contagious and our program will be better with Missa on our team. I’m excited to work with her and see where we can continue to take this program.”
During her time at MSSU, Anderson helped place four Lions on All-MIAA conference teams and helped guide the team to three straight MIAA Tournament appearances. Prior to joining MSSU, Anderson was with the Kansas City Community College program, assisting with recruiting, practice and game preparation and video coordinating duties. Anderson helped the Blue Devils to a Top-20 ranking in 2017-18 and 2016-17, while helping the program capture the 2016 NJCAA Division II National Championship in her first season with the team, a season which also saw them notch 33 victories.
A former player at Trinity International University, Anderson was a two year starter for the Lady Trojans, where she averaged double figures in both scoring and rebounding and was ranked 24th in total rebounds in NAIA Division II in her senior season in 2010-2011. She graduated with a BA in Sports and Wellness Management in 2011, then stayed on at Trinity as a volunteer assistant coach. Prior to TIU, Anderson played one year of collegiate basketball at Siena Heights University before transferring to Ellsworth Community College in 2009. While at Ellsworth, she set a single game record for rebounding and is listed in the top five rebounders in a single season in Ellsworth history.
In addition to her time in the collegiate ranks, her coaching experience includes two years as head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach at Chicagoland Jewish High School and coaching AAU basketball for Full Package/All In Athletics in the Chicagoland area.
