Uhhh... did you mean to post this in the Valpo Basketball Forum?  ???

EDIT: Just saw the Valpo connection the further I read.

Quote"I played D-I basketball and was around a lot of great athletes then, but this group truly includes some of the best athletes in the country," says wide receiver Jeanette Gray, 36, who was a star forward at Valparaiso University. The team made its first-ever trip to the NCAA tournament when she was a senior.

I had the s ame reaction, but like you, as I read further I also saw the  Valpo connection. Perhaps better placed under Women's BB, but a fun read and a good story. You go girl!

We may have been able to use her against Dayton.

Good to see women playing football--I think it's a great sport and the more people who play it, the better.  Male/Female/whatever.

Great job by Jeanette with her football career. Her basketball coaching career at VHS didn't work out quite as well as football has for her.
