Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 2815668, member: 250"] A well written and thoiughtful article about USA Teams off the court experiences in competition this summer. [URL="http://www.espn.com/espnw/sports/article/24382893/usa-basketball-gold-medalists-share-memories-fiba-u17-world-cup-fiba-americas-u18-championship?addata=espnw:womenbb:index"]USA Basketball gold medalists share memories from FIBA U17 World Cup, FIBA Americas U18 Championship[/URL] "After the win against France, the Americans rode the bus back to their team hotel. When they got close, Jones and her teammates noticed a crowd gathered outside in front of the hotel. "These girls are pointing at us and seem to be screaming," said Jones, who was named to the all-tournament team. "We're like, 'What's happening? Why are they pointing at us?' " Once they got off the bus, the U.S. players recognized many of their opponents from the tournament, including athletes from China, Mali, Latvia and Japan. "U-S-A! U-S-A!" came the serenade." What probably was going on there is suggested elsewhere in the article. Stranges part of the piece for me is Jordan Horston's saying : " "It was amazing to experience that tour with this group of girls, finding out about the people who fought for our country." [/QUOTE]
