Sisters are doin' it

Portlander Shoni Schimmel and her sister Jude are in the Final Four of women's college basketball. That's the biggest news to hit this town in a long, long time. If it isn't the lead story in the local media in the morning, something is seriously wrong. Those girls got game.

Sorry, the big sports story turns out to be the Mike Rice, Jr. abuse scandal at Rutgers.

The Schimmel sisters and their family were the subject of a fascinating documentary titled "Off the Rez" a few years ago.

Aren't those sisters Pendletonians, rather than Portlanders? Much as I love Portland, I grew up in small town Oregon and Portland should not try to steal their thunder. And these sisters are Thundering!

The Schimmels played high school ball (and their mom coaches) at Franklin High in Portland.

I don't believe the Schimmel sisters' mother is coaching at Franklin any more.
