A year ago, Biannca Ward of Peoria Richwoods High School in Illinois was sitting on top of the world: the 5-foot-4 point sophomore guard dazzled crowds last season while leading her team to a 38-0 record and the Class AA state championship. She was considered one of the top players in the state and college coaches were taking notice. Then, this past December Ward was cut from the team after being found academically ineligible. Then things got a lot worse. Several homes in Peoria were burglarized in broad daylight last week and a gang of young criminals made a fatal mistake: the broke into the home of an off-duty cop. Ward was among those arrested, and charged with of residential burglary.
