So they take a walk...to remember the place.
The girls are chatting on the right...
Justin is still looking for a hanging hoop
in the neighborhood!
Which made me think of Basketball.
I have only seen Justin play a few games, but he reminds me of Ace McCann,
Roman Catholic '61. Justin has the same moves that Ace had.
They are both lefty's & are good shooters with limited range. But their
bread & butter is they drive the lane, get fouled & are deadly from the
Foul Line!
Roman visited CD in '61. I was a freshman, first time I saw Ace play.
Brother John was a Senior & CD could not stop Ace the whole game.
The papers back then had box scores for High School games. I remember reading it.
Ace shot 4 for 11 in field goals & was 20 for 20 from the line!
He had 28 points & Roman beat a much better CD team.
and Sam tells me that Justin is pretty good, but Luke is The Real Deal!
So that's my Basketball story.
(Oh, by the way, five years later my Team beat Ace's Team in the Finals
of the St. Charles Boromeo Seminary League)
You should know, this was during the Vietnam Draft so there were a lot of good Basketball players that wanted to be Priests.
