Angie Paccione Played Like a Guy

The biggest compliment Angie Paccione ever got on a basketball court came in the fifth grade. Paccione was playing a CYO Christmas tournament at St. Joseph's Church in New Windsor. She was just named the tournament MVP, when a man came down from the stands and walked over to her.

"You play like a guy," the man said.
"That opened my eyes," Paccione, now 46, recalls.

"My whole life is from my commitment to basketball," Paccione says. "I squeezed everything I could out of basketball." (More ...)

Note: Angie is running for the U. S. Congress. You can find news of her campaign at Angie's Congressional Campaign site.
