That is a very cool story. I’m just a few years older than Kim and remember her days at Hammond High very well. When I was going to SLU in the late 70s and early 80s, she was the talk of the town. The same personality she has now is the same as back then. Such a great athlete and coach!

I'm not too big to say that it was a humbling experience. I remember thinking that I never wanted to be picked again. They set pick after pick after pick. Eventually, although we were more athletic, you get tired of being picked. They would pick until they got an open shot. We didn't employ a shot clock, in fact I'm not sure that women's basketball used a shot clock back then, so it was frustrating as frick.
I went to La Tech for a year in the mid 80's as a freshman.
I played pick up ball there with the girls... mind you I wasn't very good, but I was good enough to be into the last cut at UNO a few years later when they had tryouts from the student body.
Back to Tech - those girls were the real deal and took a great deal of pleasure in destroying the boys. It was real basketball, played under the rim, and played HARD.
Good times!

Why didn't you just switch to a zone defense or switch all of the picks if yall were more athletic?
I promise you they weren't more athletic.

Coach was trying to teach us a lesson about team play. That's my 35 year later guess.

Graduated in '89.
My dad was military so I moved there in the 8th grade. I wasn't from that area.
That said, I promise we know some of the same families in that area.
Do you know the McKeithens??

Pam Kelly from Caldwell Parish was one of the earliest stars of that Lady Techster program.

So there was a Burns family in Grayson that went to the same church, Grayson Baptist Church, as I did.
That's such a small world, they have to be connected.
How 'bout The Frederick's, Fraziers, Carroll's?
I actually lived in Hebert, so I hung out with the Shipps and Harvey's.

You grew up in North Louisiana and never knew of or heard about how good the Lady Techsters, Mulkey, and Witherspoon were? You must never watched sports reports on local stations or looked at a sports page in a news paper.

I went to school at Tech in early 80s when KM starting point guard. The Lady Techsters were the best team in the during those times or close to it. In those days normally the women would play the first game and the men after that. Every women’s game was packed to the rafters. After the women’s game ended, almost everyone left, leaving very few to watch men’s game, it was kinda crazy.

This is why I don't share shite on here. You guys won't leave it alone. I don't want everyone knowing my real name. You want so bad to catch somebody in a lie, that you take the time to research the roster in '88. I don't give a shite if you don't believe it, that's on you.
BTW, that's creepy AF.
I'll tell you who I'm not... Alan Yearby. 6'8" dude with long arms. If I remember, he went to University of Arkansas, Monitcello.

KM was born an athlete. When she was 10 years old, I wrote an article about her, saying she was the best Little League player I had ever seen. Playing on the boys' team, she made the all-stars at the end of the season. Unfortunately, parents in Hammond didn't think a girl should be allowed to play on a boys' team and they had her banned from the all-star game. She sat in the stands with her dad and I. Her dad told me "if you think she's a good baseball player, you should see her play basketball." Guess he was right!
