It’s going to be a pretty incredible summer for the family of Angel Reese and Jordan Hawkins.
For those of you who didn’t know, the two of them are cousins and they both live in Maryland. Hawkins is from Gaithersburg and Reese is from Baltimore, which is just a ride up the local beltway.
Hawkins said he and Reese “go way back” to the days when she’d beat him playing one-on-one when the two linked up back home. Hawkins stood up for Reese after people online criticized her for her celebration taunt aimed at Caitlin Clark during the women’s national championship game.
Now, after Hawkins and UConn won on Monday night, both of them are national champions. And Hawkins was totally pumped about it.
"Imma see her in Maryland soon so… The cookout gone be lit!"

“Me and Angel paved the way. We did it. We did it…Look, I’ma see her in Maryland soon, so. The cookout gone be lit.”
Yes indeed. That cookout might be like a joint championship parade. The menu is going to be wild, too. There will be lots of crabs, Old Bay, some half smokes on the grill, good burgers and a couple of championship rings to show off.
Hopefully, we get some good pictures.
