You are only as old as you feel. Just ask members of the Cruisin' Big Dogs, a 75-plus women's basketball team. "We're very competitive," said Barbara Loveless, 75. "We are not just little old ladies."

The team plays 3-on-3 half-court games with 12-minute halves and travels to about three out-of-state tournaments each year. The next tournament will be in Colorado in July, a qualifier for the nationals. The Big Dogs are planning to play in a slightly younger division, 70-and-older.
