Message: [QUOTE="The CDR-Ret, post: 3595123, member: 10751"] Being born "around the time dirt was discovered in Iowa," I saw Brenda Moeller in person. Although she did not win the State Championship while in the 6-on-6 (three per half court either offense or defense) format, she did play international basketball with the U.S.A. All-stars in 1973-74 with Pat Head (Summitt), Ann Meyers, etc., and was the center at 6' 0" against the 7' Russian center (Semenova), and was giving up about 80 pounds (36 kg) in the only international game her team lost. Apparently, "Bigs" mattered back then, as the Russians also had 6'6" 6'4" & 6'2" starters, and the U.S.A. tallest was 6'2" Caroline Bush. She was a 3-time All-American at Wayland College in Texas as well. With the assistance of the "daily allotment" videos of full games, the best high schooler seen on video would be UCONN's newest PG, Paige Bueckers [PB as PG]. She was very impressive with her confidence in her 3-pt shooting when she was in EIGHTH grade. Nothing like being a FIVE year starter, and qualifying for the state finals all FIVE years, even though they did not get to play the last one. She leaves Hopkins H. S. on a two year unbeaten streak. Now she can start another looooooonnnnngggggg unbeaten streak (hand off to the "one who shall not be named" for another year when she is done four years from now) that will be "bad for WCBB." [/QUOTE]
