THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The message from Pete Gaudet, the former post coach and current video coordinator for the Ohio State women?s basketball team, resonated with senior center Jessica Davenport as clearly as a Sunday morning church bell. "I think it was the Minnesota game," Davenport said. "Coach Pete told me, ?This is your last goaround in the Big Ten. You want to make sure you make an impact and make sure people remember you.? That?s what I?m trying to do."

Ohio State senior Jessica Davenport receives accolades in a quiet manner as a memorable career closes in on its final games
Humble giant nears final bow
Monday, March 05, 2007Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
As the plane descended on Columbus, her teammates peeked out the window and pointed toward downtown, swearing they could see Jessica Davenport from the clouds.
But Davenport's 76 inches were folded in her seat, Ohio State's senior center having assumed her preferred position for takeoff, landing and turbulence - head down, arms crossed. She acquired the habit after a few bumpy flights last season, and now the Buckeyes had taken to tormenting her with calls of "Jess, did you feel that shake?"
Even if Davenport hadn't been hanging on, she wouldn't have been scanning the skyline. No matter how large her basketball legacy at Ohio State, Davenport is one to keep her head down.

A hoop, a dream
Davenport?s all-everything career had a simple start

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
FRED SQUILLANTE The beat-up hoop where Ohio State?s Jessica Davenport honed her craft still stands at the East Side home of her parents.
The basketball pole rises out of a patch of dirt at the back end of the Davenport family?s driveway on the East Side.
The wooden backboard looks as narrow at the shoulders as Barney Fife in his dress uniform. The rim is rusted. The net is as lost in time as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
Still, this place survives as a neighborhood wonder because it marks the spot where Jessica Davenport first became aware of basketball.
"My hoop," she said, smiling. "As long as I can remember, it?s been there. I think it was there when we moved in."
