Cash is known for her great basketball talent, but many people don't realize she also won a WPIAL track championship in hurdles as a senior in 1998. That was the only year she ran track. In basketball, she had a superb career, scoring 2,678 points and grabbing 1,782 rebounds. Her performance in the WPIAL championship game as a senior was unforgettable as she had 40 points, 21 rebounds and 10 blocked shots. She had a golden career, becoming one of only six women to have won an NCAA title (University of Connecticut), Olympic gold medal (2004) and WNBA championship (two with the Detroit Shock). She was a two-time Post-Gazette Athlete of the Year.
