I have to state up front that I ain't making this up, and you'll just have to trust me on that:
When I was in high school, 50 years ago, in Iowa, high school girls' basketball was by far the biggest sporting event, every year.Far more important than the boys' competition, which was great, because my high school team, on which I played, was horrible. It allowed small town high schools to compete with big town high schools, and the state tournament was televised big time. It happened that, when i was a senior, the single best player among the state's best girls' team was a tall blond girl every boy in the state drooled about. Her name . . . remember, i ain't making this up . . .
was:
Fonda Dicks.
What in the galaxy were her parents thinking?
