About Me

Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential."DEMPSEY HOVLANDS WORLD FAMOUS TEXAS COWGIRLSYAHOO SEARCH ENGINES DEMPSEY HOVLAND 2009 1 - 10 of 51,400 for dempsey hovland (About) - 0.33 s | Search results 1.

40s- 70s beating all odds on talent and hustle in America making a mark that is historically unmatched. While public schools banned females from basketball to save them from damaging their female anatomy and organs my dad was recruiting young women to play on his barnstorming all women basketball team. Arkansas and Iowa were producing outstanding high school female basketball players. The World Famous Texas Cowgirls 1949-1977 was developed by my dad in Chicago while managing the North Park hotel in Lincoln Park . Doc Kearns Jack Dempseys manager was approached by my dad when he was a guest at the hotel and my dads dream team was originated. The women travelled on the road taking on male opponants sportcasters local leauges college and factoy teams. The girls opened for Syracuse Nationals Boston Celtics Minneapolis Lakers Philadelphia 76ers Chicago Bombers Harlem Globetrotters. Playing an average of 160 games a year in a season. Seven days a week twice on Sundays They played ball against Chicago Bears Cleveland Browns Green Bay Packers Rose Bowl Champs and Military base teams . A young Flo Holder from Gillam Arkansas left a college basketball scholarship behind to try out and join the team .She married Dempsey Hovland and continued to play into her thirties. There was no WNBA this was a team prettier than others travling and having a blast. . The team won an average of 70 to80 percent of games played. They were featured on CBS in the seventies before disbanning due to my dads health. See photos/ news articles of Texas Cowgirls with Bob Cousy George Mikan Dolph Shayes Wilt Chamberlain in my albums ALBUMS Dempsey Hovland shook a nickle and it turned into a dollar he booked nationl recording artists comedy acts and off the wall entertainers booking Harmonica Rascals Pee Wee King plate spinners and bears riding bycycles to feed his family of 9 and provide entertainment during halftime for his World Famous Texas Cowgirls. My dad Dempsey ran miss american teenager miss National Teenager Little Miss pagents to bring in income to keep The World Famous all female basketball barnstorming team on the road for almost 30 years. My garage was filled with converse shoes levis basketballs pa systems and gags that were used on the court to get the women through the doors of local gyms and the largest stadiums that hosted male pro ball players with barriers of sexist overtones in his way once those girls got to the jump shot the ball was in their court. Dropping their cowgirl hats holsters pistols boleras and vests as they enterered the court in a running circle that led to center court where the players intrigued crowds with their ball handling specialties spinning on fingertips bouncing balls down court with kness neck roles and more. Blindfold shootouts gunshots lassoing male opponants and hog tying were trademark gags of the team developed by my dad. Their showmanship and cowgirl theme seperate them from any other teams theme. They had sex appeal created by Hovland in the performance they put into the game.
