Seattle Storm go for win #2 tonight – after hosting West Seattle kids

Thanks to Roxhill Elementary School parent Lisa for letting us know about a big event that Roxhill fourth- and fifth-graders enjoyed downtown on Monday – a trip to KeyArena for a special clinic sponsored by the Seattle Storm and the WNBA during an off-day in the Storm’s playoff push. In the photo used with permission of our partners at the Seattle Times, the Storm’s Swin Cash cheers on Roxhill fourth-grader Abigail Salas. (We found more photos in this online gallery from another site.) As you probably know, the Storm play Atlanta again tonight at the Key as their best-of-five series continues; Seattle won 79-77 on Sunday.

10:40 PM NOTE: In case you hadn’t heard, they won! 87=84. Game 3 of the WNBA Finals is Thursday in Atlanta.

I was never a fan of women’s basketball, but I must admit that Storm players are much better role models than male NBA players. Good job!

watching live on ESPN2; these women are sooooo good, working so hard, absolute best sports team in Seattle by far; and yes, incredible role models

Thanks WSB for posting! You are awesome! An extra thrill was Nate Robinson of the Boston Celtics was there! All kids received tickets to last nights game so how cool is that!

Somehow I can’t see a NBA (or just about any other pro sports team) doing a community event in between two games in the championship series. Part of me is shocked, but most of me is impressed!

Sorry, comment time is over.
