Quote of the Day: Rebecca Lobo
From this article on ESPN-W:
I played in my first basketball game when I was in the third grade. I was the only girl on the all-boys team. Only two girls signed up to play basketball that year, so they didn't have a girls' team. When my mother found out that there wasn't going to be a team for the girls, she told the head of the rec league, "You'll just have to let Rebecca play with the boys, then."
There are 14 girls in my daughter's class. Twelve signed up for the basketball team. Five boys signed up to play on the boys' team. If one or more boys misses a game, they will take some of the girls to fill out their roster.
