Something Lighter

I have been following the season of a basketball player from back in NW Iowa...this week she broke an all-time record for all levels of basketball. Deb Remmerde, sophomore at Northwestern College in Orange City IA (my alma mater's main rival), lives basketball. Yes she plays, but she lives it as well. Spends hours a day shooting in the gym. She originally went to the U of Iowa, but transfered out after getting a stress fracture in her foot and missing her family. Anyway, I saw her play in high school and she is amazing.

And this year, as a sophomore at NWC, she just broke all known records by making 133 free throws in a row. The last known record she passed was 126 by a boys HS player from Louisianna in the 1970s. The NBA record is 97. I think Deb missed like four free throws all of her high school career. Great accomplishment. If you want more reading, click here.
