1. There is a high school girl in Houston
according to ESPN, that stands 6 ft 8, and dunks two handed as a part of her game. She is committed to Baylor next year.

6. Britney Griner -- here's some video of her
speaking as an Oklahoma fan, I've gotta say I wish she hadn't committed to Baylor ...

7. A girl who is 6' 8" and who can dunk with two hands?
Who would have thought it? I hope the one who will be coaching her at Baylor and her teammates who will be playing with her are ready!

2. Difference in Men's and Women's Lacrosse
"the main difference that most people can tell is the different equpiment..
boys=should pads, arms pads, helmet, mouth guard, gloves

girls= eye goggles, mouth guard

In girls lacrosse there is whats known as the "arc" lik the 8 ..its an arc around the goal used for penality shots

in boys lacrosse they are allowed to hit each other there are ruled on what kind of hits, as for girls you can only hit one another sticks when its not too close to their head

in girls lacrosse, the pocket of the stick is very small, almost no pocket at all, to make up for the fact that there is no hitting. This allows the ball to be knocked out of the stick much more easily "

15. here is a fun fact. it amazed me and it might amaze you. i moved to the ozarks about 6 years ago..
and they absolutely worship women's basketball here. at least as much as men's basketball and certainly more than football.

i've never seen this kind of support in any region i have lived in. talk radio, billboards, packed stadiums...

women's basketball is the shit in southwest missouri.
