I got Boocie
He and his Blue Devils left the L.D. Dobbins gym defeated by a 1A school 59-52; The Blue Devils being a 5A.
They did get a dunk, however.
I was very proud of the Collinsville Panthers. One of the best HS basketball games I have seen in some time. Panthers played smart. Jukin and fakin gettin the "athletic" Devils off their feet and then hittin the three as the Devils descended back to earth.
I called a couple Socon schools to tell them about Deshawn Moore. He was the best player on the court Friday night. The Panthers played their role. It was a team win. Patient and disciplined; not a code word for White Ball, just smart basketball. Two Whites, two ballers of color, a Mexican and a fellow from El Salvador.
I played trombone but woulda come out of the stands to play for a minute or two if they had called on me.
To the Etowah fan who Roomed in the early 80's at Auburn with Lionel Little Train I want to say it was nice meetin you, no kiddin. Tell your friend DAvid Thompson was in the stands at the NC State Carolina GAme on ESPN Saturday night, another good basketball game Saturday.
And as an Auburn grad you need to know Mike Hubbard Auburn former SID is not your friend. I saw the ESPN 30/30 film You Don't know Bo; but I think I know Bo well enough that he will tell you the same thing and I hope he does so soon.
To my knew friends in the Blue Devil Stands, hope you see this and learn about Jackson Giles, Judge Frank Johnson and William Moore.
And to Boocie you may have the gifts. I wish you well. I told some of your classmates I saw Sidney Rice of the Seahawks when he was in the tenth grade in a Christmas tournament. After the first round I asked him who was gonna win this thing. He said: "We here, ain't we."
You got rattled and got outplayed Friday night. But I was pleasantly surprised you handled the defeat without rancor and I'm proud of you for that.
You look to be the real deal. You're gonna win a lot of games going forward and I wish you the best.
