Colson Makes The Cut






I always stress how hard it is to play at the next level coming out of high school because less than 4% go on to play in college. My daughter was fortunate enough to be one of the top players in her class and had offers on the table while she was in middle school, so I could only imagine how she would blossom in college


 The thing about college is that you never know how things are going to turn out and after tons of bumps and bruises throughout her career, those dreaded three letters, ACL, took a little steam from the engine and coming back after only 4 months might not have been the smartest thing in the world, it showed how bad this kid wanted to help her team win and win they did as Texas A&M finished ranked in the Top 10 every year she was there



I can only imagine how happy she must be over the course of the last couple of months as she was named an Asssociated Press All American along with helping lead her team to a National Championship win. That alone would be an excellent way to close out her career, however being drafted into the WNBA and now making the New York Liberty squad makes her the first player from Houston to have done all three of those things and begins a new chapter to a storybook finish.
