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.

A tweet he then tried to deny with a lame story NOBODY believed since everyone knows a retweet will have an RT in front of it.

We do have to remember that he was hyped as King James since he was in high school even though he hadn’t done anything to earn such a nickname. Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan have multiple championship rings and are far more Continue reading →
