ESPN.com Chronicles Paris' Accomplishments
December 15, 2005 | Women's Basketball
BRISTOL, Conn. -- Below is an exerpt from ESPN.com writer Melanie Jackson's column on Oklahoma freshman phenom Courtney Paris. Part of the weekly Quick Dish, Jackson chronicles the numerous records Paris has already set and several season marks she is on pace to break. An expert and link to complete article on ESPN.com are provided below:
We'll always have Paris, right?
Well, the Oklahoma record books might.
Rookie Courtney Paris has played just 10 games in a Sooners uniform, but she already is tearing through the charts and has set eight school records in OU's 9-1 start. The first came in the Sooners' opener on Nov. 11, when Paris scored a freshman debut-record 24 points. The 6-foot-4 center has since reached 100 points (five games), 200 points (10 games) and 100 rebounds (nine games) faster than any player in OU history.
Paris -- the daughter of former All-Pro lineman William "Bubba" Paris for the San Francisco 49ers -- also is the first OU player to: notch a double-double in the first three games of her career, score at least 10 points in the first 10 games of her career and record double-figure rebounds in her first three games.
Paris' numbers rank among the best in the Big 12 and nationally, too. She's leading the conference in rebounds (13.1 boards per game) and blocks (3.22) and ranks in the top five of six statistical categories in the Big 12. And her twin sister, Ashley, a 6-3 forward, adds 7.5 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.
