TALIA RAYFORD OF THE GILA MONSTERS NAMED PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to Women’s Basketball player Talia Rayford for being named Player of the Week for Eastern Arizona College.  Talia averaged 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 2 assists in two games last week.  The freshman comes to Eastern from Inglewood, California. 

And one of the perks of being covered by Balladeer’s Blog is getting your Official Balladeer’s Blog Nickname. So as of now, allow me to dub this outstanding student athlete Talia “The Hoops Monster” Rayford. I thought about spelling it “Goops Monster” like in Gila Monster, but I didn’t want bombarded with e-mails from people telling me they didn’t get it.
