Who wants to be a Lady T?
The
lights
fade,
all
eyes
are
focused
intently
on
the
screen. With
fear
and
a
little
doubt
in
my
eyes,
I
think
I
should
go
with
my
gut
instinct.
But
what
if
I
am
wrong? The
stakes
are
huge. The
question
is:
What
three
characteristics
do
I
need
to
be
a
Lady
T? A)
Dedication, B)
Skill, Two future Lady T's have decided to take on that challenge. Hali McClelland and Teresa Hildebrand have signed a Letter of Intent to play basketball for Dakota State University.
