NC State Women's Basketball Coach Kay Yow Dead At 66



Kay Yow's battle with breast cancer has ended.

I have watched quite a bit of women's basketball being the big Vols fan that I am. The lady was a class act and a winner. She stands as the 5th winningest active women's coach in NCAA Division I basketball.

Cancer is such a nasty disease. I watched it take my grandmother 3 years ago. I hope someone finds a cure for this disease very soon.

Truly a sad day in Raleigh.

I've had a quite a few family members die from cancer, and it seems every family has that. One of my good friends(who has a blog on Blogger) had pancreatic cancer, and vital organs had to be removed to stop the spreading.

Take care and good luck to your Steelers in the Super Bowl!

I met Kay at a clinic many years ago. A real classy lady and a tremendous loss for college basketball.
