As I’ve mentioned, this blog is something I keep up with in my free time.

My real job is Sports Editor of a daily newspaper in South Texas, where one of my beats is the local NCAA Division II college basketball teams.

I cover both the men and women pretty closely, and every now and then I’ll do some features which I think merit attention on this blog.

One of my early ones was on a sophomore guard who is making a return to the court after sitting out last season.

She’s a local kiddo, and those stories are usually my favorite, as it offers the public a chance to get to know kids playing at the next level.

Anyway, here’s a link to the story: http://godzilla.lmtonline.com/lmthosted/LMT956Sports/110309ErikaRosas.php

The college hoops season is about two weeks away, so there will be more player profiles as we get to that point.
