Message: [QUOTE="my2cents, post: 3909620, member: 7898"] During yesterday's ESPN coverage, they did a story where they stated Paige was from , Hopkins, MN. This is not exactly true. Having lived in Minnesota for five years, where you are "from' can be be more subjective than lets say, if you are from West Hartford. Why? Because what town you live or grow up in, does not determine where you go to school. They have large school districts that can cover multi towns. Paige's home is in St. Louis Park, MN, a first ring suburb , just west on Minneapolis. Her section of town is in school district #270. That district has western St. Louis Park, parts of Edina, Eden Prairie, Hopkins, Golden Valley, Plymouth, etc. Paige went to Hopkins HS which is located in Minnetonka, MN . ( not even in Hopkins). The subjective part is , when your children are going to school there, you relate to where you go to school more than where your house is. Most of your activities are school related, so the community you are involved in, answers the Q, " where you are "from". In Paige's case, she would have played against St Louis park, Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, etc, so how could she be from there? Hopkins, for her, is the best answer. And yes, I have too much time on my hands.....lol [/QUOTE]
