Whenever Brionna Jones and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough took the court at the University of Maryland's Xfinity Center during the last four years, they walked under banners that contained the names and jersey numbers of the greatest players in school history. Now, they earned their own banners.
Following the Terps' regular-season finale Feb. 26, the jersey numbers of Walker-Kimbrough (32) and Jones (42) were unfurled above their home court. It was a crowning moment for two players who defined the Terps' success during the last four years.
"I was completely shocked," said Jones of the moment she found out her jersey would be raised with Walker-Kimbrough's. "Having gone through everything that we've gone through has made us stronger together. I think about how quiet we both were our freshmen year, and how we've grown vocally and tried every year to get better."
