Lady Saints Basketball

The Lady Saints have not lost a game since Nov. 26, when the team fell to New Mexico, 60-71.  Since that time, the Lady Saints have built up a No. 8 ranking (as of Jan. 21) in the NJCAA national polls with a nine-game winning streak.

Lady Saint bounces back from crash

During Christmas break, Lady Saints basektball players Ashlynn Knoll and Kayla Thomas were in a car wreck while on vacation. Neither were seriously injured, but it kept Knoll from playing basketball at the start of the semester.

The two were going down a hill near Wheeler, Texas, on their way to an anniversary when a truck failed to stop at a stop sign. Knoll was driving. She hit her brakes and the car slid sideways into the semi. The two walked away with minor cuts and bruises.

Super Bowl...

 

The bigger they are...

Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the league, so it stands to reason he will be the best quarterback on the field Super Bowl XLVI.

Brady has a great arsenal around him, from Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez Deion Branch and Chad Ochocinco.  BenJarvus Green-Ellis even got it done on the ground against the Baltimore Ravens last week. The offensive line is also pretty stacked.

The defense really does not have one stand-out player, but as a group the Patriots are very effective against the opposing offense which will prove critical in order to stop the New York Giants.

The Giants front four on defense will give Brady and company trouble, but I do not think Justin Tuck,     Linval Joseph, Chris Canty and     Jason...
