WE GOT NEXT! THE UTAH STARZZ

A PIONEERING EFFORT

By Dr. Greg Shepard
Published: Fall 1997

"We got next" slogans have been proliferated in the media.  The Women's National Basketball Association is upon us.  The initials WNBA are becoming recognized as the ultimate in women's sports and the Utah Starzz are part of this pioneering effort.

Valerie Ackerman, president of the WNBA, stated, "It's an exciting time for women's sports.  It is a new era in the evolution of women's sports.  Our league is enjoying unprecedented national television coverage and sponsor support.  The players in our league are the finest in the world and our games are allowing sports fans to see women's basketball as it has never been seen before."

Women's basketball began as a sport with women's rules in 1882 at Smith College.  Our U.S. women's basketball team won the gold medal in the 1953 World Championships but it took another 20 years to give AIAW scholarships.  It was only 16 years ago that we saw the first NCAA Women's National Championship which ultimately led to the folding of the AIAW.  Less than one year ago, eight cities were selected to be WNBA's charter teams.  (Charlotte, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, Sacramento and Utah-Salt Lake City)  The first WNBA league game was played on June 21, 1997.

The attendance at WNBA games is averaging about 9atshirt/- eAxqtball, both of which were signed by all the members of the team. A very special bond formed between the team and Melissa. I think we drew a great deal of inspiration from her and she from us as we progressed through the season. She made great strides in her recoery and our players realized how fortunate they were to have someone like her so interested in what they were doing. Melissa would work hard to make trips around the halls with crutches instead of the wheelchair and the team would keep track of her progress and provide encouragement. After many of the games the players would stop by on their way off the field to talk to Melissa. She had a very positive effect on the team all the way through the state championship game. all the other teachers and coaches who played a role in his development. We thank Mr. and Mrs. Paul Webber for helping us with this article and raising such a fine son. We wish David the very best in this next important stage of his life at Nebraska.
