THEY SAID IT
SCORECARDto where women’s basketball is
heading and being on a team that’s
helping it grow.
Were there other reasons besides
winning a national championship
that made you come back?
Winning a title was not the end-all,
be-all for me coming back. That
was actually a pretty small portion
of why I came back. There were so
many things I didn’t want to miss
out on. I’m in a master’s program I
wanted to finish. I wanted to have
a senior night. I wanted to spend
another year with my [twin] brother
[and roommate], Eddy. I wanted
to graduate with the people I came
in with. The championship was
probably the last thing on that list.
What do you want your legacy as
a college basketball player to be?
The triple-doubles? The 2,000-
1,000-1,000? What do you want
kids to take from watching you?
It’s definitely nothing individually.
I’m trying to be part of something
bigger. It’s about being on a team
that’s helped change the way people
view sports, valuing us as women
and women in sports. ¼22 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED

Outcry
THIS FIVE-PART DOCUSERIES centers on the case against
Greg Kelley, a high school football star from Leander, Texas.
He had committed to UT–San Antonio when, in the summer
of 2013, he was arrested and charged with sexually
assaulting a four-year-old boy who attended a daycare run
by a family friend, a crime for which Kelley would ultimately
be sentenced to 25 years in state prison without parole.

lawyers, crooked cops, champions of justice, a growing
legion of supporters, Texas rangers (and not the baseball
kind), lies, lie-detector tests, appeals, rallies and deaths.
But it’s expertly unspooled by director Pat Kondelis, whose
understanding and treatment of football in the community
gives the story layers and substance. (Kondelis won
an Emmy Award for Disgraced#k\)'(.ÓcdXYflkk\

Viewers will see Kelley in prison; they’ll watch him take
a lie-detector test, be released on bond and await the
decision that will change the course of his life.
At a time when so many sports docuseries play like the
same hackneyed movie, Outcry tells a complex story, one
that’s familiar and yet unique, with the outcome in doubt
and the tension high throughout. —Greg Bishop
