Iowa Cornets
April 21, 2012
They can rightfully claim to be the first women’s professional basketball team ever formed in the United States. They travelled the small cities of Iowa and beyond in a custom 1964 Greyhound bus known as “The Corn Dog”. Team members co-starred with Pistol Pete Maravich in a box-office flop from the auteur who brought you UFO: Target Earth and Bloodbath in Psychotown. And they were pretty good too. During their short two-year history, the Iowa Cornets appeared in two championship series and produced one of the earliest stars of the women’s game.
