The Montverde Academy girls' team did a lot better than the boys' team during the 2024-2025 season, reaching the final of the Chipotle National Championships in April. The school, best known for producing Duke star Cooper Flagg, is considered to be one of the best basketball programs in the country.

Odom is ranked No. 38 from the Class of 2026 by 247Sports and is the No. 14 power forward in the country. Here is how 247Sports' Brandon Clay describes her game:

"Odom is a consistent threat on both ends of the hardwood inside of 15 feet. She is a willing runner in transition who has also shown the ability to be effective at the rim. Odom rebounds the basketball well."

Missy Odom is also a softball star, winning a state championship as a sophomore

Originally from Alabama, Missy Odom used to play both softball and basketball for Jasper High School. It was at Jasper where the four-star power forward tasted championship glory in softball.

Odom won the Class 5A softball title with the school, beating the tournament's No. 1 seed, Moody, in May 2024. She played as a pitcher and was named the Class 5A Player of the Year for 2024. She was the finals MVP as well. Earlier that year, she also helped her school win the Class 5A state championship in basketball.

She is expected to play both softball and basketball should she choose Texas Tech.
