Summitt deserves accolades

Three cheers for Tennessee's Pat Summitt winning yet another national championship.

One of the classiest people in all of sports, Summitt won her seventh title after a 9-year drought. With the best player in women's college basketball, Candace Parker, you'd expect nothing less than the title.

Summitt is one of the few coaches who will bring perennially highly-ranked program into Ruston for a meeting with the Lady Techsters. She has been a long time friend of former Lady Techsters coach Leon Barmore.

The fact that UConn didn't make the Final Four was another highlight of the women's year.
