Who is Alexis Hornbuckle? Here's just a sampling of her accomplishments in basketball:

This young lady had the world in front of her, and her irresponsible action will doubtlessly take some of it away.

I've been told by all who know her that she's a smart, popular girl, not just a basketball player, and that she'd be a center of attention if she'd never played ball. And you can see from the pics that she's pretty.

Her popularity in this whole region is super. Little children ask her for her autograph. The members here fron WV, KY, or OH will certainly be familiar with her from basketball. She's certainly among the best young lady basketball players in the nation, if not THE best.

Unfortunately, this seems to be an all-too-common story for more than one young athlete with a potentially great future. Let's hope Alexis learns a valuable lesson from this, and goes on to reach her potential & becomes a role model for youngsters in a POSITIVE way.
