Just when the Paris twins are graduating...

For those of you who don't follow Big 12 Women's basketball - okay, for all of you - the Paris twins play for Oklahoma and they are like Shaq and his twin brother, if he had a twin brother. Courtney Paris is so dominant she had some 200 plus double double games in a row. The good news for the rest of the Big 12 is that this is thier last year. The bad news is that Brittney Griner is coming.

Brittney is a 6-foot-8-inch girl who plays for Houston Nimitz. Last night at the UIL girls high school basketball tournament Brittney scored 44 points against Pflugerville. Pflugerville scored 47 points. But that's not the bad news. We've had tall players in the conference before. Six-seven Ellen Bayer played for Texas several years ago, but Ellen was tall thats all. Brittney can dunk. No, Brittney can SLAM dunk. And she's going to play for Baylor next year. Kim Mulkey, the Baylor coach was at the game last night and she was smiling so big they had to get the jaws of life to close her mouth at the end of the game.

Here's one of the seven or so videos of Brittney on Youtube



Maybe we can start following Volleyball for a few years.
