Lady Vols basketball fan? Gene Caldwell is offering a basketball signed by the members of the 1981-82 team that played in the first ever NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament. This team came to play in Oak Ridge because we had such an active Orange and White Club of boosters supporting the Lady Vols. They played in the ORHS gym, and all proceeds benefitted the Girls' Club. After the game, the team and its local boosters had a party at Gene's home, and that's where they signed this piece of Lady Vol basketball history. Ball comes in plexiglass case.
