Carson-Newman Sophomore Lashawnda Peacher-
"It was always a dream. Pat Summitt was one of the main reasons why I even played basketball because she started recruiting two of my favorite players in Tamika Catchings and Candace Parker. As I watched them, I started to love watching them play, and then I started playing myself. When I was in high school, my coach offered us to come over and watch a Vanderbilt and Tennessee game, and everybody was in there for Vanderbilt, and I was screaming for Tennessee. They said, `What are you doing?' I said I'm a Tennessean by heart. They were like, `Well, Vanderbilt's in Tennessee.' I'm like no, Tennessee is Lady Vols' base. It was amazing. It was the best feeling ever."
