SPORTS ROUNDUP |
Photographs by Alice Faye Love
Each year, Lakeshore Foundation in Birmingham, Alabama, hosts the Pioneer Classic Wheelchair Basketball Invitational in which 10 Division II teams and four women’s teams compete. This year’s Classic, which took place January 9 through 11, saw the Arkansas Rollin’ Razorbacks defeating the Orlando Magic 63-58 to take first place in the Division II column.
On the women’s side, University of Alabama’s women were unbeatable from beginning to end, besting Dallas’s Lady Mavericks, the Shepherd Lady Steelers and Team Quebec in every game. Alabama dominated the Lady Mavs to take the women’s title with a 55-40 win on day three of the tournament. Janet McLachlan added 29 points and Cindy Ouelette 10 points to Alabama’s total.
Photographer Alice Faye Love was on hand to capture the women’s action, and a sample of her work is after the jump.
This layout was fantastic and the pictures were exceptional! Excellent work Alice Faye Love!
