Good work as per usual, Venus. I can't think of any nit-picking here. And I'm grateful that you found the short-comings of others enough to ignore our Hornet shortcomings this week.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
