{Lexington, Kentucky}...Former University of Kentucky women's basketball player Nastassia Alcius, a former Henry Clay High School standout and UK guard, will graduate from the Lexington fire department's training academy Friday. The Lexington native is among 23 recruits who have gone through about four months of intense training. After Friday's ceremony, they will begin working full time, responding to fires and treating sick and injured people. Alcius, who graduated in 2006 with a sociology degree, considered trying to go pro, but she decided she needed a break first. She worked at basketball camps and played for some charity teams. Alcius played at UK from 2004 to 2007, averaging 5.5 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
