SMU's next game is Saturday at Rutgers so the team is going to hang out in the northeast anyway.
Trip to Piscataway on Saturday will be a homecoming of sorts for SMU's coach Rhonda Rompola who grew up nearby Sayreville, NJ which also happens to be my hometown. Rhonda and I both graduated from Sayreville HS though our paths did not cross (I'm a few years older). Rhonda was a three-time all-state player and went on to ODU where she played on ODU's AIAW's championship teams in 1979 and 1980. She then transferred to SMU where she played and now coaches. I have no idea why she transferred.
Chris Dailey and Rompola were contemporaries in high school; Chris attended St Peter's in New Brunswick and graduated a year before Rompola. I wonder if they played against each other in HS and college.
