What an amazing young woman.    I only wish there were more people who followed women's basketball to hear of her incredible struggle and the positive outlook she has maintained in the face of such challenges.

Lauren Hill is still fighting. She made the trip to Baldwin-Wallace for the BW Invitational. She got in the game briefly with under 8 minutes left in the second half against Bethany and made another basket. MSJ was down 53-33 with 12 minutes left in the game but outscored Bethany 31-16 the rest of the way including Lauren's basket. Unfortunately they came up short losing by 5.

Hospice care has started for Lauren Hill... but apparently she still boarded the bus today for their game at Transylvania... incredible.

The Transylvania women finally ended the conference's one and done streak at 4 years last year. Hopefully it was the start of a new trend of success.
Good luck to Hanover playing at DePauw and Transy who will play Wittenburg at WashU.

Condolences to the family, friends, and teammates of Lauren Hill... What an amazing and inspirational woman... God bless...
Mandatory reading this week is to click on Pat C's story on the front of the D3 hoops website, and to read the three stories that are linked within his wonderful tribute to someone who we should all aspire to be like...
