“It’s been so fantastic. I want to thank God for blessing me to be alive and then blessing me to bring my grandchildren down,” she said.
Janice’s grandchildren said they’re well aware of grandma’s passion for the team.
“She will scream at the top of her lungs like a baby,” said Janice’s granddaughter Jayla.
Janice said she remembers the Bucks’ last championship in 1971, which made her a fan ever since.
After three hard-fought games, Janice said she’s praying for the Bucks, every time they hit the court.
“One for the father. One for the spirit, one for the holy ghost. Yeah, go Bucks!” she yelled.
