think bo," Jordan says. “If we go in with the right attitude."

It waa that "attitude" which allowed Jordan to lose about 20 pounds from her 5-foot-8 frame on a diet of eating just one slice of cake instead of two and generally "cutting down" calorie intake.

“At first" that was difficult, she says, “But I don't think about eating as much now."

It is that same attitude that kept her out on the court with a friend in the rain after 11 p.m. "My Mom hissed at us about catching cold. We didn't stay out very long."

It is that ie attitude that reminds Jordan, a senior, this is her last hurrah.

"That last game (at home against Brentsville) is gonna be a heartbreaker," she says.

But before that, there Is more damage to inflict on district opponents.

She’s scored 40 points the first game as a sophomore for a careerhigh, and played three minutes later that year at Luray to go scoreless. It was that same year she played George Mason and scored just three points — “And I played the whole game, too," she says.

Such nights — productive or otherwise — happen without apparent warning.

“I never know when I'm going to have a good night," she says. “I have to run up and down the floor a few times before I know if I’m gonna have a big night. Sometimes, I can hit every shot in warmups and not hit anything in the game."

That scenario, fortunately for Rappahannock players and fans, has been written only occasionally.

They know that Jordan will have “a big night" more times than not.

And that word has been spread around the Bull Run District quickly enough.
