Interesting that as BYU hoopster Brandon Davies’ suspension for having sex is the talk of the day, the N&R (unposted) profiles Greensboro College center Danielle Duncan, who’s juggling school, basketball and motherhood:
In late summer 2009, Duncan learned she was pregnant.
At first, I was really scared and didn’t know what to do,” Duncan said, “and my parents found out, and they were supportive from the get-go.”
Worries crept in about whether she could play basketball and what it would mean for her college career. She missed two semesters at Greensboro during the pregnancy.
Duncan tried to stay active by walking every day and shooting hoops as much as she could.
“And when I would shoot, Micah would kick,” she said. “I think I was five or six months along, and I put that on pause.”
The father’s not in the picture, so it’s fortunate that Duncan’s parents are supporting her and her son. The Pride faces St. Vincent in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament.
