Competition Starts Before the Game for Phoenix Women

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - It's not unusual for many players to have pre-game rituals, as is the case with Green Bay women's basketball players Celeste Hoewisch (Hortonville, Wis.), Kayla Tetschlag (Sheboygan, Wis.), Heather Golden (De Pere, Wis.) and Julie Wojta (Mishicot, Wis.). Before every game on the road, the four women compete in a friendly game of cribbage.

The ritual gained national exposure when it was featured in last year's NCAA Tournament Final Four program. "It was pretty cool to be featured in the program for something that's just a little tradition for us," said Golden.

While last season the team of Wojta and Golden dominated, this year the Tetschlag/Hoewisch team has a two-game edge with its 6-4 record.

Watch a cribbage contest and hear more about the ritual below.
