WSU's Casey Banks a diamond in the rough

Wayne State University basketball player Casey Banks is profiled in a story featuring photos of her performances. Gloria Bradley, head coach of the women's basketball team, says when she recruited Casey, she saw a post player that was a diamond in the rough. "The hardest thing was to find out what made her tick. It took us some time to figure it out, but we did. Casey can play both ends of the floor because she can rebound, get down the floor and finish at the other end," Bradley observes. Casey is nearing completion of a bachelor's degree in exercise science and says her degree will open the door to her as a physical education teacher, athletic trainer or physical therapist.
