Samenvatting:

On New Year Eve 2013, Pittsburgh Cobras co-coaches Annie Vaughn and Karen Gettinger were just two girls sitting in a reconstructed bar at Pittsburgh's South Side reflecting on the 2013 season of the American Little Ladies Basketball League. The ALLBL, a professional basketball league for 12-year-old girls, was still popular, completing its third season with four new teams. Over 200 girls were living the dream as professional basketball players, making money, traveling all around the country and playing games at 8 o'clock at night and shooting for a trip to the Ladies Cup at Knoxville, Tennessee. While counting down to the New Year, Annie and Karen talked about stories that include Hannah Storm's interview with ALLBL president/founder Scottie Rogers, the league's first ever Midnight Madness game, trailer trash triplets moving from Minnesota to Florida to join the Tampa Bay Trojans, a steamy love affair between a head coach and general manager in Des Moines that ended on a sad note, Las Vegas Lions' coach Jenny Hendricks' road as born again evangelist and the Birmingham Wildcats still having that "girl power" as 8-year-old Carol Swank comes back for another year as cheerleader. It was just another exciting year in the ALLBL.
