I haven’t paid much attention to basketball since high school (back in the Dark Ages of the 1950s) but I’m coming around now that Mr. B. plays it and much better than he played baseball in Little League.
So Ms. Plumley, a 5′ 2″ point guard for Lamar University’s women’s team caught my eye. Mainly for her diminutive size, but also her Southland Conference record for 3-pointers and player of their year.
She’s led her Beaumont school to the NCAA women’s tournament where they play West Virginia right here in Austin Tuesday Sunday night at 8:30 pm. It’ll be on ESPN2. Worth a look, I’m sure, especially for such a pint-sized point guard. I’ll be watching.
UPDATE: Somehow I misread the schedule. The game was played Sunday night, I missed it, and WVA won. Plumley, despite three treys, had seven turnovers. Ouch.

5′ 2″… wow, so not all is lost for me. Oh, the age angle…
Actually, her university bio at the first link says she is 5′ 4″, but the daily’s sportswriter says she is “5′ 2″ when she is wearing sneakers,” so she seems to be a bit shorter than 5′ 2″. This I have to see in action.
