Iowa Girls Basketball Is Serious

In the state of Iowa girls basketball is the biggest sport. Bigger than golf, football, baseball or any other that you’d sort. We are basketball players before we settle down, an Amazon wife said. And sometimes a player afterwards, said her son, Leland Lee Ted. His mama scoffs at his reply, she beats him at horse after school. Never letting up a bit, winning is the girls’ basketball creed and rule. Husband will not play her, he has seen her tough it out since she was ten. The one thing that she insists on doing is always taking the big win.
