CLAFLIN, Kan. -- Jackie Stiles scored big again Saturday, as hundreds of her fans flocked to her hometown to pay tribute to the basketball phenom who holds the title of top scorer in NCAA women's college basketball history.

"Wow, what an unbelievable day you have given me!" Stiles said to an overflow crowd in the gym where the 5-foot-8 shooting guard got her start at record-setting performances. "I'm totally overwhelmed by all the support you have given me," she told those who turned out for "Jackie Stiles Day" in Claflin.

She was loaded down with plaques and certificates of tribute before the afternoon was over, and she was officially inducted into the Kansas State High School Activities Association's Hall of Fame.

Her numbers, as always, were impressive: Her homecoming parade drew more than 60 entries, and it took more than an hour for the floats, cars, tractors, fire trucks and ambulances to make their way two blocks through Claflin's Main Street business district. Every storefront was decorated with signs and banners congratulating Stiles on her achievements.

Stiles, who scored 3,393 points in her college career at Southwest Missouri State and 3,603 as a Claflin Wildcat --the highest point total for boys or girls in the state -- was the featured attraction, riding in the rumble seat of a Model A Ford coupe. She grinned and waved at the crowds lining both sides of the street, about half wearing the purple and white of Claflin High and the other half decked out in special-issue Jackie Stiles T-shirts.

A one-of-a-kind wooden basketball plaque made by a local craftsman and signed by Stiles sold at auction for $850. That money, and the funds raised from the T-shirt sales, will go into a Jackie Stiles scholarship fund for other Claflin-area students.

Debora Flood of McPherson, who once played college basketball at WSU, held up her freshly autographed Jackie Stiles T-shirt and said: "Nobody breathe till it dries. I'm going to frame it. It's going up right next to the signed Wilt Chamberlain shirt I have."

Eight-year-old Kristin Wondra of Bison was thrilled to have Jackie Stiles sign a CD recording of a special song honoring the small-town basketball legend. "We are all very proud of her.... She is such a good role model for children," said Kristin's mom, Lisa.

"She worked at it.... She deserves it," said Harold Seyfert of Claflin, who with his wife, Evadine, turned out for the parade.

Stiles led Southwest Missouri to the Women's Final Four this year and is expected to be drafted high in Friday's WNBA draft. Asked what team she hopes to join, she said, "I don't know enough about the teams and the personnel to really have a preference, but whatever team drafts me, I'll be glad to get a chance to play."

During the parade, she was bombarded with candy thrown from passing parade entries. At one point, while the high school cheerleaders were doing a hula-hoop routine, she joined in on the reviewing stand, spinning a plastic hoop with expertise.

Virtually all of Claflin, population less than 700, turned out for the event, along with lots of visitors from surrounding communities. Most of them trooped to the football field for the awards ceremony.

An afternoon thunderstorm chased the crowd into the high school gym, where Congressman Jerry Moran told them that Jackie Stiles had the advantage of growing up in a small western Kansas town where she could learn from not only her parents and coaches, but everyone in the community.

"We're proud of you, and we're glad you're a small-town product," Moran said.

Tom Nelson, director of operations for the Dodge City Legend, defending champs of the United States Basketball League, presented Stiles with her own Legend jersey. She became the highest-drafted woman in a men's professional basketball league when the Dodge City team picked her a few days ago.

But instead of the No. 10 that she made famous at Southwest Missouri, the purple jersey bore her high school number. "In Kansas, she's still No. 45," Nelson said. Whether she will actually play any games for the Legend remains to be seen.

But before the ceremonies honoring her were over, Stiles slipped on the jersey and told the crowd she would stay as long as necessary to sign any memorabilia they wanted autographed.

What was the best part of the day for her?

"All the special people here," she said. "It's great to spend all this time with them, since my schedule usually doesn't permit it."
