What’s keeping Tamika Catchings busy in 2023? Cornhole — and much more
June 12, 2023
MESA, Ariz. — We all know Tamika Catchings can shoot a basketball through a hoop. But can she toss a bean bag through a cornhole?
That’s what the several hundred fans were wondering at a recreational hall in Mesa, Arizona this past weekend. The Hall of Famer — and arguably one of the greatest basketball players of all-time — participated in the the fifth Johnsonville SuperHole IV preliminary event in the celebrity pro-am tournament series, paired with American Cornhole League pro Corey Gilbert.
Catchings and Gilbert competed against doubles teams that featured 400-meter sprinter Sanya Richards-Ross, swimmer Natalie Coughlin and volleyball player Kim Glass. Each is an Olympic medalist, and each was paired with a cornhole professional, such as Kimberli Glass, who teamed up with her name twin. Richards-Ross and her partner won the event and advanced to the Johnsonville SuperHole IV at Rock Hill, S.C., in August.
