Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 4688918, member: 6488"] Wonderful story both the writing and the content. I grew up near the Everts in South Florida and watched Chrissie play through her senior year in high school. I last saw her in Gainesville in a high school championship game (which she won). At that time, Chrissie was compared to a wall, arguing that in a contest between the two, young Evert would win. Also in that long ago, Don Shula was coaching the Miami Dolphins with great success. Both Shula and Evert had one great lesson (at least) to teach: be a good loser. These two were the epitome of grace and good sportsmanship, and that's what I remember the most across the years.
