Posted: 07/23/13 7:24 pm ::: Women's basketball on PBS' "Age of Champions"

I was watching my local PBS-TV station, and they showed a documentary called Age Of Champions, about senior citizens who are staying active by playing sports. One of the segments included a women's basketball team, called The Celadrin Tigerettes (of Baton Rouge, Louisiana) and The Smoky Mountain Mamas! Cool

Quote:

What would you like younger people to know about your generation?

[Mavis Albin]: The opportunities they have now --- I think a lot of the WNBA and college kids take it for granted. Our team [the Tigerettes] has often talked about, what if we had the WNBA to play in when we finished our basketball careers? That would have been the most amazing thing to us. But I don't know if the kids appreciate all the opportunities that are out there for them.
