Pretty good stat line for DD. Looks like her wrist is OK

Nice game by Diamond: 11-12 FTs and 5 steals.

Her friend Maya did pretty well in the Georgia tourney: a loss in the finals as a frosh and 3 championships after that. Go Diamond! Go Norcross!

Interesting to see Washington County and McEachern both unbeaten as well. Those names take me way back... I lived near both at different times.

One thing about DD is she should know exactly what she would be getting into at UCONN since she and Maya have reportedly known each other for years.

OUCH for Diamond. She had to get stitches after the game.

Per the article, she got fouled (pushed) on a driving layup in the 1st quarter, and then collided with some camera equipment as she went to the floor, suffering cuts above the eye and also near the ear. Glad she's OK -- well more than OK! She led them to victory

Diamond: "I'll take heart over talent any day." Nice!
