Happy Friday. We brought our cat home from the vet hospital last night (after paying quite the ransom), and he seems almost 100% now, which is great considering he was at death’s door when we took him in. We have to give him special food now (special is code for very expensive) and we had […]

The first half started slowly once more for the Trojans as they had difficulty finding an early groove, but despite the early turnovers, USC would shoot 54% from the floor. </p><p>Freshman Jazzy Davidson led the charge offensively for the Women of Troy in the first half with 9 points on 4-8 shooting, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals.

He threw a four-seamer with a lot of backspin (which seemed to put a lot of stress on his arm), which caused it not to drop as much as most pitchers’ four-seamers.
