Each year a group of female basketball players are selected and assembled to form the Courtney S. Crooms (or CSC) team. These girls suit up and run the floor in Courtney's honor and compete as part of the annual tournament that bears her name. The team's colors are blue, black and white; the colors of the team and university (Duke Lady Blue Devils) where Courtney desired to play and attend. Head Coach TaShanda Howard ensures that each player is familiar with Courtney and her love for the game. A reminder that they are playing for a cause; a cause that reinforces and continues Courtney's vision of changing the game for female athletes. Players are also held to the same academic and civic standards as our grantees.Do you have the grades and explosive game to represent Courtney? Let us know. (Mcrooms@c-cfoundation.org) |
