When I started working with Pounding the Rock, one of the cool aspects was getting to cover Spurs events — autograph signings, Military events, community service. One of the first times I was out I met Sovia Lauriano. Sovia, also known as the “Spurs Lady,” is a mainstay at almost all Spurs events and games. She’s so well-known in the community that she even has her own Spurs Lady fiesta medals.
The love and admiration she has for the Spurs and the Spurs community, and the feeling is mutual. Back in 2017, Lauriano had a heart attack.
