This week's edition (dated March 5) of the best publication in sports journalism has a local angle. Former Scotch Plains-Fanwood standout and Courier News girls basketball Player of the Year Hillary Klimowicz is featured in a full-page spread on Page 65 of Sports Illustrated.
The article is part of SI's "Portrait of a Powerhouse" profile on Division I athletics, and includes two photos of Klimowicz. The College of New Jersey sophomore is also featured in the bottom right-hand corner of the cover.
The story details Klimowicz's decision to transfer to TCNJ after a very successful freshman at St. Joeseph's in Philadelphia. Klimowicz made the move to pursue other academic interests that she could not have if she continued playing Division I basketball.
There is also a quote from former SPF coach Lori Gear McBride, now the coach at Colby College in Maine.
My colleague Jerry Carino first wrote about this story in his weekly column on Jan. 13. While there is nothing in the SI article that Jerry did not have, it is still worth picking up.
If you missed Jerry's story, this is the link again.
