Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, April 12, 2006

About 1,200 people attended the funeral of Maggie Dixon yesterday in Los Angeles.

"She taught us to dream big, to play big, to want big things in our lives," said Army forward Ashley Magnani.

"In her eight short months with us," Army athletics director Kevin Anderson said at the funeral, "Maggie electrified West Point as only Maggie could."

A video montage of interviews with Maggie and her brother shot before the NCAA tournament was shown in the gymnasium of their alma mater after the funeral.

Maggie was also honored with a moment of silence before the Yankees home opener yesterday.
