ALL-AMERICAN REDHEADS HONORED AT HALFTIME GAME OF ATLANTA DREAM
TEAM
Many thanks to Bill Bolen
and his staff for supporting our visit to
Atlanta on behalf of the ALL AMERICAN RED HEADS. We were just a
handful of former players from around the country who joined together
once again to proudly be recognized as being
affiliated with one of the
greatest basketball teams that ever existed. From 1936-1986 traveling
all over
the country, playing only against men (men's rules), racking
up over 200 ballgames in an eight month
season, and laying the
ground-work for the women who are now enjoying the prestige they deserve
in women's sports.
We stood there in loving memory of Coach Orwell Moore
and his wife Butch, who have both passed, but will forever be
remembered
for their life-time dedication; both Coach and player)to the ALL
AMERICAN REDHEADS.
Thank
you Atlanta fans for the standing ovation. We are sure there
were many of you that either watched or played against
the RedHeads
within the 50 yrs. they were in existence. We feel sure that which
ever is the case; you were
left with the assurance that you had been
entertained by some of the most talented female athletes this country
has ever produced, and like Coach Moore always said,"IT'S HOW THEY
PLAYED THE GAME!"
Good luck to the Atlanta Dream team. Great victory against NY. Hope
the wins continue. Impressed with
the Desire, Determination, and
Dedication exemplified on the court.
Thanks again for your hospitality,
The All American RedHeads (former players)
and Tammy MOORE Harrison (Coach's daughter)
