scooterbob Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 U of L picked up another fine 16th Region female athlete when Chinwe Okora of Russell accepted a track scholarship. Although her superior ability in the discus and shot are well known, I would think that she would also be a good addition to the Lady Cardinal's basketball team where she would join Rose Hill's Kala Faulkner and Laura Terry. From all reports, Okora is an excellent student and a first class young lady. She has been a force in area girls's basketball for a couple of years and has developed well under the fine coaching of Merle Kidwell. Although I am a graduate of UK, I am quickly becoming a U of L fan. I'm sure all area partisans join me in wishing Chinwe the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpapa Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Nice to see this for Chinwe. I've met her several times at area track meets and she is a very nice young lady. As I recall, she also has a bunch of athletic siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
