Based on her clips, she is a real "find": great athlete, quick, tenacious defense, can take it to the basket, shooting over 40% from 3 (?). And from an outstanding high school program. What's not to like here?

In a state championship semifinal game last night, Caffey and teammates beat Rockbridge 65-41.

22p; 3r;  3a;  6s;  1b; 1t              8-13 FG;  4-4 on 3s.

As their head coach, Dan Rolfes, was leaving the arena, he suffered a medical emergency and was undergoing surgery an hour later.  At the hospital he told his wife he wanted the state championship game to be played as scheduled tonight at 6:00.  There's been no further updates this morning.
