I think Vanna does have to worry about me replacing her, ... Some of the letters are hard to reach. She is 5-6 and I am 6-5, though one of the letters was a little low for me, so maybe I have to keep her on as my back-up.
They did a good job of keeping us off the boards. We felt we needed this game. We did all you can ask. We played hard and we still believe in ourselves.
I encourage girls to play sports and play hard.
When I set a goal, I work hard to achieve it.
We will have to go with a big lineup to challenge them or go with a quick lineup to change the tempo of the game.
I love cheesecake and whipped cream. Those are my two downfalls.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. We're both role models who have made different choices. I don't know why we're even talking about it. It's a private matter. It has nothing to do with basketball.

Goal-setting and achieving those goals - that's just what I do.
I think we are getting better, but I don't know if we have enough time.
