South Carolina’s budding dynasty in women’s club basketball

By John Davis | 1:36am

Women's basketball at South Carolina dominates the school's sports landscape, and for good reason, given its continued success. That dominance also takes shape within club sports, with the Gamecock club women's basketball team taking home its second national championship in three seasons.

A dream weekend unfolded at Founders Park as 12-year-old Gabriel Lyons of Lexington stepped into the world of University of South Carolina baseball. Gabriel, who lives with autism, was given a behind-the-scenes experience with the Gamecocks, organized by Dream on 3 and its USC chapter consisting of student athletes. The weekend included a limo sendoff from his school, a meeting with former Gamecock outfielder Evan Stone, a tour of campus featuring Williams-Brice Stadium and a media-style photoshoot, culminating with Gabriel throwing out the ceremonial first pitch before South Carolina's series upset win over the University of Kentucky.
