It was an honor to watch this game.  So proud of the class shown by both teams.  You have to give Blackman credit for pulling out the win, but Oakland Coach Jennifer Grandstaff did an outstanding job today and her girls responded when so many didn't give the Lady Patriots a chance at all.  It was one of those games that you hate to see anyone lose.

she is great however i think she will have trouble with length at the college level with her height. she had some trouble yest.

I can understand why you think that, however, she's played against guards 4-5 inches taller throughout of yrs of playing!  This includes exposure ball where she was on the top Jr. team as a freshman!  I've known her since she was in the 4th grade, given her work ethic and determination, in addition to her high basketball IQ, ...She'll be fine.

Dangerfield has always been one of the smallest if not the smallest on the floor in every games she's ever played.. She's gonna do well at UCONN, have no doubt in my mind.. She is little, however her speed and court awareness not to mention her shot from any where on the floor is what makes her a special player. The program may say she's 5'4 but when she is on the court she is as big as anyone out there..

    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..
