The most successful class in the history of MSU women's basketball will celebrate its final home game Sunday at Breslin Center.

The Spartans are 100-29 during the tenure of guards Rene Haynes and Victoria Lucas-Perry and forwards Myisha Bannister and Katrina Grantham.

"The four of them have been quite a class," MSU head coach Joanne P. McCallie said. "It's a high-impact class, a very bright class if you look at their (grade-point averages) and just a real heady class. They're honest, vocal and fun."

The senior class will leave with an appearance in the 2005 national championship game and with the 2005 Big Ten regular-season title and tournament title on its résumé.

"This class is special," Lucas-Perry said. "We are one of the first classes where all four of us have stayed all four years. I think it speaks a lot about our dedication to the game and our dedication to the Spartan program."

"She went from being a small forward in high school to being a ball-handling guard at the Division-I level. … Talk about a role model, a leader."

"Katrina is a lifelong Spartan. … As a senior that comes off the bench, she doesn't care. She just gets out there and plays when she gets her shot."

"Myisha is a symbol of getting over adversity with her knee. She was playing fantastic basketball last year when she got injured."
