Wisconsin-Whitewater is home to one of the most dominant sports programs the state has ever seen.
Jeremy"Opie" Lade and Christina Schwab know the rich Whitewater tradition and have helped keep the standards high. Schwab, 41, grew up in Dane, Wisconsin, and also attended camps at Whitewater. But she played at the University of Illinois because the Warhawks didn't have a women's team until 2008. After a successful playing career, including winning three Paralympic gold medals, Schwab started coaching and was hired by Whitewater in 2016. Former Warhawks coach Dan Price won three straight women's championships from 2012-14.
"She’s got a lot of game experience and that kid can shoot," Schwab said of Zurbrugg. "Anywhere. She’s got the three-ball. She’s got a lot. She’s got a big offensive package, I would say.” "At the other end of the spectrum, if you’re a 4.5, you’re probably looking at your single-amps. So when they’re sitting in their wheelchair they can still use both their legs, whatever’s left of the other one. They got abs, they got back. So when they move, when they pass, when they shoot, they just physically have the ability to use more tools.”
"I think that's amazing growth. Really that's what I want to see within wheelchair basketball on the States-side. Internationally, we have a lot of potential in this country. So it's really important that we keep girls involved in the game."
