My son lived and breathed basketball. When he was younger we loved it too but when he got older and played more competitively we were sick of it. Very ghetto, even at the AAU level, no matter where you go. He grew tired of it. Nothing like traveling with your team and then worrying about them stealing from you. He ended up quitting both HS basketball and AAU. The change in attitude was amazing too. It is sad because it is a fun sport.

GW Carver from Montgomery

Isn't that where The White Shadow coached?

At least it can’t be called a racial incident; I only saw black on black...

GW Carver from Montgomery and Valley High which I think is in Randolph County although I could be mistaken.

Both school names were mentioned in the article.

Thanks. I think the office firewall must have blocked the article. The link just opened as an empty window.

The reason I asked is that I attended Lee High in Montgomery .... many many years ago.

Don’t forget Special Olympics. I was really surprised at some of the teams.

Watch the guy in the green striped shirt and count the number of times he has to pull his saggy-ass pants back up. What a maroon.

Maybe it’s all those Think Pink banners on the walls. What’s up with that?

“Maybe it’s all those Think Pink banners on the walls. What’s up with that?”

Yes, I thought that was a bit odd and funny as well, especially since the school where the game was held, Alabama State University, is an all black school. I guess it is a sign for the Breast Cancer awareness program. Monies from this also go for abortions as well or so I’m told.

No. I do not. I moved to Mgy in ‘93 and moved south in 99.

Oh, OK.

I moved from there in 1978. Wally’s was around the corner from Lee and about a block from my house.

It was a very hip record store to be in Montgomery in the mid-70s. I blew all my paper route money there.

Say hello to Doyle for me.

Let me be the first to post:

Comment not made, as it would immediately be removed by moderator, who would have a very good reason.

A lot of brawls break out when a game is unevenly (or unfairly) or poorly officiated.

And when they're not.
