HALL OF FAME THOUGHTS: ADRIENNE WEBB
ADRIENNE WEBB:
Today was a really special day for me. We started the day with a visit to the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (WBHOF) in Knoxville, TN. We learned about the history of Women’s Basketball, and saw the pictures of players and coaches who have been inducted over the years. Our own Coach Chancellor became a member in 2001. We also toured the Rotunda to view the Ring of Honor where every year they display the jerseys of players who have made an impact on the game on a high school, collegiate, and professional level. As the 2009 Alabama Gatorade Player of the Year, I am honored to have my jersey hanging with those selected for this season. Allison Hightower’s LSU jersey is also featured with this elite group for the outstanding career she has had thus far. Even though I had visited the WBHOF last summer, this visit was even more special because I was able to share it with my teammates. I also think the visit inspired me to play with greater intensity in the big game vs. UT, by helping me focus on the things that helped me achieve that honor. With hard work, desire, and determination, I hope to be represented there again in the future.
NOTE: During our recent trip to Knoxville to play the University of Tennessee, we took our team to the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. From time to time over the next few weeks, we will have our players blog their thoughts on this special experience.
