The WNBA has finally arrived in the big D. This has been something in the making for the past few years according to league sources. What an exciting time for young ladies here in the metroplex and also in Texas period.

A few days ago ownership revealed the team name, and they will be called the Dallas Wings formerly the Tulsa Shock. For the first five season the Wings will be play at UTA in Arlington TX were it seats around 7,000. As scheduled the Wings will play 17 home games this season.
Dallas Wings are bringing with them some very good and talented players and some all-star players like Skylar diggings. Diggings is one of the WNBA best all around talent and she is the heart and soul of this team. Another outstanding player that will playing alongside her is a local kid Odyssey Sims. Odyssey is a rising star in this league and hopefully her and Skylar will be the backcourt for years to come.
By bringing the Wings here will put a spot light on basketball here in North Texas on the high school level and the college level. Texas women high school basketball is very rich with talent in this area and throughout the state I’m very excited that some of these young women will get a chance to see basketball played at the highest level for women.
The wings are coached by Fred Williams, last season the shock: now the wings finished the season 18-16 but they look to improve on last years record. The inaugural season begins in May of 2016
