    Professional sports championship trophies. Daily Herald illustration by Paul Valade We debuted our Hope Index a year ago with the idea of gauging the chances our hometown professional sports teams might soon contend for a championship.

    TCU's Hailey Van Lith poses before being selected by the Chicago Sky in Monday’s WNBA basketball draft in New York. AP Hailey Van Lith is feeling grateful today.

Van Lith has been public about her mental health struggles, but the worst is behind her, she believes.
