AMELIA WILSON LOVED basketball.
A decade ago, when she was 12, hoops was her thing. It wasn't her first love, though. That was always football.
Starting when she was 3, Wilson remembers sitting with her father, former Div. III player Lawyer Wilson, Jr., and watching his beloved Philadelphia Eagles, who eventually became her beloved Eagles. They'd sit on the couch for a few hours on Sundays, and he'd teach her the game -- the intricacies, the passion, the fandom. It was a way for a father and daughter to bond.
Wilson got hooked.
