The team now has two superstars, and the level of excitement is amazing, says Takeaway sports contributor, Ibrahim Abdul Matin. But will this lead to a winning season? Meanwhile, keep your eyes on Dawn Evans. She is the best player in women’s basketball, a point-guard for James Madison, she is leading in points this year.
