Sylvia Hatchell Shares Her Kay Yow Memories
Posted Jan 30, 2009
They were two girls from smalltown North Carolina who grew up playing basketball way before it was cool for young women to do such a thing. Both kept on playing in college. Both rode the powerful wave of Title IX into coaching jobs, eventually in the same conference, at rival schools just 20 miles apart. Both won plenty of ACC championships and more than 700 games. Both Kay Yow and Sylvia Hatchell are now in the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame together.
