“I'm looking forward to playing modified basketball next year with girls.”
Allie Whitehouse
“That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.”
Angela Ruggiero
“In boys, it's ingrained in their heads that to dunk is just the highlight of basketball, whereas for girls, our shooting technique, making baskets and free throws is taught more. It's such a sexist approach to the sport sometime. Men aren't encouraging their little girls to try to work on their hops. They're encouraging them to work on their jump shots and the fundamentals of the game.”
Lisa Leslie
“Basketball was much more glamorous. Girls were looking at you.”
Steve Looney
“This is definitely the biggest win for Mother Lode Christian girls' basketball in a long time.”
Josh Milbourn
“It's shear joy. For those girls ... we've got five seniors who have dedicated their whole lives to basketball - summer open gyms, summer camps, traveling all over Western Pennsylvania to play games - and I'm happy for them. It's an achievement for them.”
Josh Meeker
“Most schools in Michigan only have one gym. Many girls will lose the opportunity to play basketball.”
