Hip Hip Hooray..........Hip Hip Hooray..... Hip Hip Hooray......For Courtney. Congratulations and Thank You Courtney.

These girls do so much on the court we sometimes forget how much they do for the Community at-large. A great service by a great young lady.

Hurray for Courtney and the Christine/Geno led programs of community service. Rarely do anyone see what Geno/CD and these young women do for the community. A few years back they went to a local town who lost power, over a long period, and they went to a local school and put on a spaghetti dinner for those in the town--no a word on TV, no mention in the papers--that is the Christine/Geno way..
God bless these two they not only put their money where their heart is--they put their minds and bodies too (which is much much harder)

Courtney---love what you have done. Now damn it--become the player and 3 point shooter you were supposed to be when Geno recruited you!! Never miss an opportunity to contribute offensively to your team..

Most schools' athletes do some kind of community service. Even CFB players, believe it or not. If you think about it, schools at all levels do lots of philanthropic things (donating time, fund raising, etc.) for their communities and causes.

Last day of community service? Was she just volunteering or was it something else?

There is utterly no justification for that slur of a great young lady and the moderators should strike it summarily from the board! ;)

Yup. Shoot the damn lights out! They can be replaced.
"shoot" shouldn't be said in the same thread as "community service"

I dunno. Maybe if she had gotten the minutes. Why didn't she get the minutes? After all, the Huskies really didn't have a point or a 2 guard that was any good and deserved to start ahead of her....

But hey: when a player has a monster game, we don't shout: now why can't you do community service also? Let's just celebrate this for what it is: a really nice person doing a good deed. I get your point, BISweet, you're trying to encourage also, but Courtney is coming along and all we want to see is positive encouragement, I think.

Just to point out - pretty much every sports team at ever college in the country does great community service most of which is done without publicity of any kind. Love our Uconn program, and love hearing the snippets of stuff do leak out about their community outreach, just don't want anyone to lose sight of what most student athletes are contributing to their communities.
