Coach Norzell Harris says he's convinced that Denise Juzang and Lia Gainey have what it takes to be All-Air Force basketball players. So much so, he would like to see all the military services change their long-standing policy and permit dependent spouses, such as Gainey and Juzang, to play in All-Armed Forces tournaments.
Juzang, a four-year player at Division II Midwestern State in Texas, and Gainey, named the tournament's MVP, paced the Yokota Warriors to the women's title in last weekend's 15th Martin Luther King Invitational Basketball Tournament at Okinawa's Camp Foster Field House.
On the men's end, four-time All-Armed Forces forward Jelani Nix did the damage on the inside while two-time All-Armed Forces guard Billy Shanks attacked from the perimeter to boost the Okinawa Bomb Squad past Yokota for the title.
