Wes Smitherman stifled the slightest of laughs before answering a question about his older sister’s basketball days at Jonesville High. He hadn’t thought about them in a while. His last remaining sibling, Joan Elizabeth Smitherman Dawson, died last week. So a smile, however short-lived, was a welcome diversion. Dawson — Jo to her friends and heartbroken former colleagues at The Sentinel and the Winston-Salem Journal — had been a heck of a player. “She was really fast. Competitive, too. She made the All-Northwest team back in the day, which was a really big achievement,” Smitherman said. “But that was back when they thought girls were too ‘fragile’ to play full court so they never crossed mid-court.”
