In the middle of a really exciting women's NCAA regional final, I heard Mayfield star Carissa McGee was facing attempted murder charges after her mother and older sister, fellow basketball player Marie, were stabbed.
It was stunning to everyone in The Pit who follows New Mexico girls prep basketball.
Carissa was, by far, the top girls basketball player in the state. She had a bright future and it looks like that may have come to an awful end
Marie McGee, 17, had committed to play for Arizona. Several Wildcats coaches were heading for El Paso today to visit her in the hospital. You have to feel for them and wonder what their program is enduring with the death of Shawtinice Polk before the season began.
UNM was recruiting the younger McGee, as was just about every top Division I program in the region. It looked like Arizona had the inside track after signing her older sister. Now, even if the charges are dropped or she is found not guilty, I'd be surprised to see her at any big-name program.
