Our Ky girls were nothing less than amazing all week long - both in victory and defeat where they were gracious in both respects. Ms Basketball led the way - doing everything from being the hardest worker in practice to giving others water during timeouts. She is the consummate teammate and is deserving of all of her accolades. These young ladies truly loved being a part of this team and were unconcerned about who got it done just as long as Kentucky got it done. Coach Stallings did an exceptional job of pulling 12 individual players together and making them a team in one short week. We should all be proud of the way these young ladies represented their state in a positive, unselfish nature -- banding together to become truly the best they could be. That's what sports used to be about and is what it should be about. I am blessed to have been a part of such a great team!

Congratulations to Rock - what a game! The girls were tough, determined and made plays when they needed to. They had the ball last and made the most of it with a gutsy shot! Congratulations to Coach Noble - she is a class act!

That's what gets left out a lot in girls athletics - the unselfish, team-oriented nature of female athletes. Congrats to Sydney and her team - they looked great in the tournament.

Thank you and that was April Wilson of course.

Junior point guard and Purdue signee had a triple double - 16 pts, 11 steals and 10 assists along with 15 deflections.

Congrats to Avery Jones! We are all very proud of her at duPont Manual. I attended the All-Star tryouts and was very impressed with the talent, effort and attitudes with which the Ky girls played and I am sure this team will represent our state well.

We at Manual wish CAL the best of luck in the Sweet Sixteen - great Regional Tourney!
