NCAA star’s dad opened up about her childhood
It appears that Caitlin Clark's father had been anticipating the important occasion for some time. Clark's father revealed information about her earlier basketball endeavours. He admitted that when the Hawkeyes guard was a young child, she was forced to play in the boys' league because no appropriate girls' league could be found for her.

With all eyes on her in the basketball world, Clark is eager to continue creating history on Sunday with the Iowa Hawkeyes. At the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, the Hawkeyes and LSU Tigers will compete in the NCAA championship game.
