Transitions and Introductions

Jcasonvball was created to host recruiting videos. Jacquie left for UTEP on Thursday. Practice for the 2010 UTEP Miners begins tomorrow, and even though this site has served its purpose, I think I will keep using it as a vehicle to chronicle Jacquie's collegiate career.

For you Miner fans, I can tell you without hesitation that Jacquie is all about...

1. Joy: The smile that rarely leaves her face on the court is an expression of the joy she feels when the game is on. Check out the header for this blog and you'll see what I mean.

2. Competing: Boys in gym class didn't want to play against her because she had a tendency to run them over in pursuit of the ball, the puck...whatever. She was the unanimous MVP of a high school tournament last fall in which her team finished 5th.

3. Toughness: She played several tournaments this spring and led her club team to a Junior Olympics bid while fighting off pneumonia, pleurisy and patellar tendonitis so bad she could barely bend her knees.
