Fourth- through eight-grade girls attended a Minnesota Lynx basketball clinic Tuesday.

Young basketball players got to learn from the best Tuesday at a free Minnesota Lynx clinic featuring Lynx star Seimone Augustus.

Augustus answered questions from the girls and signed autographs at the Minnetonka High School gymnasium. Then Steve Brown, the basketball academy manager for the Timberwolves and Lynx Basketball Academy, and a cadre of high school and college players guided the fourth- through eight-grade girls through a series of drills.

After it was over, the girls received two free tickets to watch the Lynx take on the Washington Mystics on Thursday.

The clinic was sponsored by MidCountry Bank.
