Griner scores 13, no dunks in first Baylor game

From: www.ap.org

Baylor freshman phenom Brittney Griner had 13 points, four rebounds and three blocked shots while playing 19 minutes in the seventh-ranked Lady Bears' exhibition opener Tuesday night, a 97-43 victory over St. Edwards. All that was missing was a dunk. More than 6,000 people attended the exhibition game hoping to see the 6-foot-8 Griner dunk the basketball like she did throughout high school in Houston, and seen worldwide on YouTube. She never attempted a slam. Griner started the game and had seven points, two blocks and a steal in the first 10 minutes. She also played the first 9:15 of the second half. Senior ...

High schooler can dunk like no other woman

From: www.ap.org

Brittney Griner can dunk. Not one of those just-above-the-rim throw-downs that have long been accepted as the best a woman can do in games of the past. When the 6-foot-8 high school senior dunks, it can be a rim-rattling, backboard shaking, two-handed slam. Simply put, she dunks like a guy. "It was overwhelming, obviously, the first time I did it and I just wanted to do it more and more," she said. Add this athleticism to her speed, blocking and rebounding prowess and it's easy to see how Griner has become more than simply a top recruit, but someone who might be able to ... Read Full Story

It seems there is a downside to setting a national high-school girls basketball record for most blocks in a game. "Everybody was teasing me after the game," said Brittney Griner, the record-setter, "because I had more blocks than I had points, and more blocks than the other team had points." The newly minted Baylor signee had 21 points, 13 rebounds and 25 blocked shots as Nimitz of Houston beat Alief Hastings 69-18 last Tuesday. The 6-foot-8 Griner's 25 snuffs eclipsed the national mark of 23 by Myeisha Jones of Oakland (Calif.) Claremont against Oakland Tech in 1997. Jones went on to play at Merritt ... Read Full Story
