Phoenix, Quilling highlighted in sports best-of column

Our friends in the western part of the state haven’t forgotten the Phoenix women’s basketball team, and at least one sports columnist has included its first-ever Sweet 16 run in his 2011 sports best-of column. The Eau Claire Leader-Telegram’s John Casper Jr. lists the team’s accomplishments among the Green Bay Packers’ Super Bowl championship and Milwaukee Brewers’ playoff run, noting Eau Claire North grad Hannah Quilling’s role on the team.
