Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Sad news out of Sioux Falls: Fred Tibbetts, who set records for most wins and a 111-game win streak in girls' basketball, died Sunday of colon cancer. He was 58.

Writes Stu Whitney of the Argus Leader:
No one meant as much as Tibbetts, who brought fire and flair to the girls game simply by being himself. Those of us who cherish sports, and long for big showdowns, should honor him for that.
Another reason to "Think Pink," with a reminder that donations go to research in curing ALL cancer. You can donate here.
