My first Monarchs run-in

Boarding a plane at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Friday morning on my way home, I noticed a woman who looked a lot like Monarchs guard Kara Lawson. I dismissed it as merely the random thought of a sleep-deprived traveler (my flight the night before had been cancelled). But then she walked past me and took her place in line… next to (Sac Rag favorite) Jim “Koz” Kozimor and Coach T, Tom Abatemarco. The Monarchs were headed home after a close game win the night before over the Minnesota Lynx.

They failed to get any kind of group recognition as they filed onto the plane and sat in coach. I boarded the plane and 6′ 5″ center-forward Adrian Williams-Strong was getting herself all settled in my ticketed seat. Hers was just across the aisle so we switched it up. Go Monarchs!

Coach? That doesn’t sound like a fun trip for a basketball center.

We actually had the first row in coach, so we had tons of extra leg room. Looks like she’s the tallest player who’s not a rookie, so that must be how the math works out on that…

Thanks for visiting!
