Ole Miss Attracts Pairs of Misses

OXFORD, Miss. — They come in pairs to the University of Mississippi women’s basketball team.

Rosie and Valerie Rushing are twin sisters and members of the 1984-85 team.

Unlike the Nobles who were identical, the Rushings are not look-alikes nor are they built alike. Rosie is 5-7 with red hair and plays guard. Valerie is 6-1 with blonde hair and plays forward.

Head coach Van Chancellor, who is coaching his sixth sister combination, said: “We have always been successful with sisters in the past and I think we will with Rosie and Valerie also.”
