played against Jeff Lauritzen (Martinsville) in high school - he went to Indiana State
and had a decent career  Previous Message
Believe he went to Lanphier. Grew up with my old roommate in Decatur. Came to visit for a week in law school and the D-1 guys we were playing wirh made the mistake of pissing him off. OMG. Went to camp with the Celtics and I think the Heat and played 20 years as a pro. Player with Troy Hudson but he never went turbo mode like Monty. Honorable mention Mike Grzanich. Hit my first homerun off him as a freshman in HS. Two weeks with the Astros. But wasn’t even best HS player I saw.
