We mentioned the Lynette Woodard event in Houston a couple of times, and sure wish we could have attended. Jenny Dial from the Houston Chronicle did, as did a couple of current WNBA players.

Comets guards Roneeka Hodges and Matee Ajavon leaned over the wall at Barnett Fieldhouse, glancing down onto the basketball court where several of their childhood heroes gathered.

Hodges pointed out a couple of her favorites — Chamique Holdsclaw and Kym Hampton. Ajavon quickly spotted Cynthia Cooper-Dyke. Emerging stars in their own right, Hodges and Ajavon played the role of eager spectators Saturday for an exhibition game between Lynette Woodard’s Legends and the Houston Jaguars. The game was part of a weekend that celebrated women’s basketball in the Houston area.
