Alright, let’s talk about this Audi Crooks girl and her folks. Folks are sayin’ she’s a real good basketball player, like her daddy was. I ain’t never seen her play myself, mind you, but that’s what they’re sayin’. Heard tell her daddy, Jimmie Crooks, was somethin’ special back in his day, playin’ all fancy-like in high school and then college. Southern Nazarene and Mankato State, they say. Never heard of ’em, but sounds important.
Now, this whole “Audi Crooks Parents” thing, it’s like a family story, ya know? Like, how they all love basketball and pass it down. It’s like that farm I got, passin’ it down to my young’uns, only ‘stead of cows and chickens, it’s basketballs. Her mama, they say she played too. So, it’s in the blood, I reckon. Like how some folks are good at fixin’ cars, and some are good at makin’ pies. This family, they’re good at basketball.
- They say Audi’s been playin’ since she was just a little tyke.
- Her parents, they taught her everything they knew.
- And now she’s all growed up and playin’ big-time.
This girl, Audi, she’s a real go-getter, they say. Folks were really wantin’ her on their teams. This coach fella, Bill Fennelly from Iowa State, he wanted her real bad. Like a dog wantin’ a bone, I tell ya. And now she’s gonna play for them, bringin’ all that energy to that Hilton Coliseum place. Sounds fancy.
It’s important, this family stuff. Teachin’ your young’uns right, showin’ ’em the way. Jimmie Crooks, he showed Audi the ropes in basketball, and now she’s makin’ a name for herself. Just like how my mama showed me how to make them apple pies, and now everyone in town wants ’em. It’s about passin’ things down, you see? Skills, and values, and all that good stuff.
I hear tell Audi is not just good at basketball, but she’s a good person too. They say she cares about her community, wants to give back. That’s important, you know? Being good at somethin’ is one thing, but bein’ a good person, that’s what really matters. Like how my neighbor, old Mrs. Higgins, always helps out at the church, even though her back’s been givin’ her trouble for years.
So, this Audi Crooks and her parents, they’re a story about family, and hard work, and passin’ things down. It’s a story about bein’ good at somethin’ and usin’ that to make the world a better place. It’s somethin’ we can all learn from, even us old folks who ain’t never bounced a basketball in our lives. Just like how I learned to make them apple pies from my mama, and now everyone in town enjoys ‘em, this family’s story is about sharin’ your gifts with the world.
They say Audi’s gonna be a big star, and maybe she will. But what’s important is that she remembers where she come from, and the folks who helped her get there. Her parents, Jimmie and his wife, they did somethin’ right, raisin’ a good kid who’s good at somethin’ she loves. And that, to me, is somethin’ worth talkin’ about. Just like when little Timmy down the road got that scholarship to college, it’s somethin’ that makes you feel good inside, ya know?
Now, some folks might say it’s just basketball, but it ain’t. It’s about dedication, about family, about makin’ somethin’ of yourself. And that’s somethin’ I can understand, even though I ain’t never played a lick of basketball in my life. It’s about hard work and heart, and that’s the same whether you’re on a basketball court or in a cornfield. This Audi girl and her folks, they got that heart, you can tell. And that’s why folks are talkin’ about ’em.
