Famous Basketball Families Photo Gallery : ALEXANDER – IVORY ♦ JARRETT – WINSTEAD
Women’s college basketball took off in the 1970’s when Jackson State Lady Tigers brought prominence to the Southwestern Athletic Conference when they won the inaugural AIAW championship led by legendary coach Shirley Walker. Virginia Union Lady Pantherettes won the 1980 NCAA Division II title and since then, others have been in the spotlight, most recently the Hampton Lady Pirates, Norfolk State Spartanettes and Grambling Lady Tigers. The Black college programs have produced some exciting stars who have led the nation in points: (Pat Hoskins, Miss. Valley, Miriam Walker, Claflin), rebounds (Hoskins, Ruby Byrd, Claflin), steals (Natalie White, Florida A&M) and assists (Lisa Rice, Norfolk State among others)
