Sarah Palin basketball champ - not political

[Mark Padgett]

The Associated Press ran a story in newspapers all across the country today on how Sarah Palin helped her HS basketball team win their state championship in 1982. The story had quotes from teammates and coaches about how, although Sarah wasn't a "great athlete", she helped her team succeed through assists and defense.

The story seems to emphasize that hard word and team play by players who are not necessarily the best on their team are strong factors to team success. I would agree. That's the same philosophy we use in our local kids rec league.

There's also a picture from a game showing Palin in her uniform. I won't comment on how hot she looks. Really, I won't.

This isn't the picture that was in the story, but it'll do. She's number 22 on the right.
