W. Basketball: Wilson willpower

Related Topics: Jon Newlee

If you were to look up the definition of a “winner,” you might find a picture of senior guard Karlee Wilson dribbling a ball down the court for the Idaho women’s basketball team.

At least that’s the suggestion Vandal head coach Jon Newlee has for the owners of Merriam-Webster.

“You look that up in the dictionary and there should be a big ol’ picture of Karlee Wilson right there, that’s what I think,” Newlee said.

At 5 feet 4 inches, Wilson does not possess the stereotypical height of a collegiate basketball player. But that did not stop her from catching Newlee’s eye as an underclassman at Lewiston High School.
