More Front Paige News...

[Woof 101]

A well done article on Paige and her rock-star treatment in Minnesota. No video but some very good insight into a personality that appears to match her game if that's possible. First high school player ever (41 years) to be named USA Basketball's female athlete of the year. Wow....
