Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Sammy the Shark and Karl the Kraken are too busy swimming victory laps to get any work done, so same as it ever was, it’s all on me. Musical interlude!
Now that football season is over, the significant stories involve basketball — both pro and college — and hockey. Much to Sammy and Karl’s annoyance, the former takes center stage.
On February 15, Iowa guard Caitlin Clark set the NCAA women’s basketball record for most career points scored by a single athlete when she dropped in a jaw-dropping 49 points to lead the Hawkeyes to a 106-89 win over Michigan. Clark finished the game with 3,569 points in her career thus far, eclipsing the record previously set in 2017 by Washington’s Kelsey Plumb.
Clark’s record is all…
