This story hits really close to home for me because Kentlake High School is near where I grew up and I remember reading about Carly Stowell and Morganne Comstock in the paper when I was home for winter break last year, and of course any story that has basketball and emotional stuff in it is gonna get me every time. I loved the lede, and I really think the author does a great job conveying the grief and loss felt by everyone throughout the piece, simultaneously remembering and honoring Stowell and looking forward to the future of the team. The only flaw I could find was that I personally thought the kicker could have been a little different and had more of an impact, but I thought it was definitely adequate the way it is as well.
And here's another article about the same story if anyone's interested...but from a slightly different perspective but just as well-written and sad in my opinion

This article was INCREDIBLY sad - if I had been in a different mood I would've cried for sure, but as it was I was really sad and told my roommate/teammate that she can't do that to me. I liked the end, though, I thought it was cute, and sounded like something I would probably do.
