Becky Jackson



#34 Becky Jackson (top row, far left) was an All-American basketball player at Auburn University.  One year, during football season, I walked over to the coliseum.  On one of the side courts, I started shooting baskets.  In walked Becky Jackson!  She was dressed in her everyday clothing.  I remember she had on blue jeans and very long fingernails.  We ended up playing a bit of one-on-one.  I was probably just twelve.  She dominated me.  I could barely get off shots.  She was nice and funny, and she really got into it!

Auburn had amazing women's basketball teams in the '80s.  I recall my dad saying we ought to go watch some of their games prior to the men's ones.
