The FIBA site did a nice feature on parents who travel the world to follow their daughters.

Wrapping up the first half of July's recruiting period, ESPN's Mark Lewis profiles the top players of the Battle of the Boro.

Lisa Bodine chronicles the athletes of the Run for the Roses tourney in Kentucky.
