Where are Jackie Stiles and Cheryl Burnett now?

Mechelle Voepel outdid herself on this one - a long story about how former Southwest Missouri State Coach Cheryl Burnett and player Jackie Stiles are doing life without basketball. It's an informative but sad read, and includes some deep thoughts:

Do you think the anticipation of something is the sweetest part of life? That it's a universal human regret that those euphoric periods can't stay? That whatever we look forward to will come and go too fast, and the relentless ticking of the clock won't allow us to savor any of it?

It was a great read! Eventually, we all have to move on, but it's not always easy...
