Ladies, Ladies, Lets Play Nice Now!!

If you over heard someone in your office talking about the big brawl last night on TV, the first thing that would come to your mind is baseball.  After that maybe a good WWE wrestling match, but if you guessed that you are dead wrong.  This brawl took place in Los Angeles but it was not the Dodgers, but the Los Angeles Sparks fighting against the Detroit Shock.  That’s right the WNBA, women’s basketball.  What began as a reqular home game for the Sparks turned within 4.6 seconds left into a real Royal Rumble.  The Sparks were up by four when Candace Parker (Sparks) tripped over Plenette Pierson.  Parker threw a punch at Pierson and both teams came onto the floor.  Hey, this fight was so deep that even assistant coach for the Shock Rick Mahorn was hit in the back by DeLisha Milton-Jones.  Former MVP of the All-Star game Cheryl Ford was even knocked to the ground.

New Start For Feenstra

For the third time in  four WNBA seasons, Katie Feenstra will open the year on a new team.  Not just any team but the new Atlanta Dream.  The 6-8 center and the expansion Atlanta Dream are scheduled to tip off their inaugural season Saturday at 4pm, in Connecticut.  The Connecticut Sun are the team that drafted Feenstra with the eighth pick in the 2005 draft.  She soon was traded to the San Antonio Silver Stars on draft day.  She played two seasons with the Stars before going to the Detroit Shock for the 2007 year.  She helped lead the Shock to the Finals that year.  Feenstra was taken by Atlanta during the Feb. 6 expansion draft.  Coming to Atlanta she brings much leadership and experience.  She is not the only experienced player on this brand-new squad.  Players like guard Betty Lennox and Iziane Castro Marques, but this team will still rely on young players like second-year point guard Ivory Latta and first round pick Tamera Young.
