      That’s something special. I know Oracene loves her daughter, but she seems so unimpressed sometimes, and the fans can be going wild over some of her shots. Just my observation, and I hope I’m allowed to say it, without being attacked. And I know both mom and dad are primarily the reason for their success on and off the field. But that’s just my view.
