The Chicago Tribune reports:
Becky Williford finds extra joy in nights like last Friday, when
Waubonsie Valley dashed Bartlett's hopes for an undefeated regular
season.
She realizes how close she came to missing those moments.
The Warriors' point guard had surgery to repair the torn ACL in her right knee July 15. She went to physical therapy several times a week and returned to the court a month earlier than expected, only five games into her senior season.
Williford's presence has been key in helping No. 9 Waubonsie to a 19-2
record and a share of the Upstate Eight Valley lead after the 58-45
victory to end Bartlett's 26-game conference winning streak.
"I had a talk with my parents that this was just a slight detour in my
route," Williford said. "They said, 'If you put your faith in God and
work hard, you'll be back for your season.' I appreciate the game of
basketball more because I'm aware anything can happen at any moment."
