Chelle (Flamoe) Miller

Chelle Flamoe is arguably one of the greatest girls high school basketball players to come out of this state. Born March 13, 1967 in Spokane, Flamoe set numerous scoring records while at Bellarmine Prep from 1982-85, and later at Oregon State University, where she played from 1985-89.

At Bellarmine Prep, Flamoe earned All-Narrows League honors three separate years, including her senior season when she led all high school girls in scoring with an average of 26 points per game. For 10 years, she held the league single-game scoring record of 39 points. She was similarly accomplished in soccer, volleyball and softball but chose to focus her attention on basketball.

During her four-year collegiate career at Oregon State, Flamoe started each of the team’s 112 games. As a freshman she earned the team’s Most Valuable Player award and also received Pac-10 All-Freshman accolades. During her junior and senior years she earned All-Pac-10 honors and led the team in scoring with 20 points per game. She remains number 3 on the school’s all-time scoring list with 1,851 points. She was equally successful in the classroom, earning Academic All-America and Division I Player of the Year honors while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average.

Eight years after her playing career, she participated on the practice squad for the Seattle Reign of women’s professional basketball, and she also served as radio and television analyst for both the Reign and the Seattle Storm.
