We have daughters the same age who played a year of travel basketball together. Watched a bunch of summer girls hoops together and drank a few beers in random bars, restaurants, and hotel lobbies

I see him around town here and there. The girls will compete against each other in their last year of HS ball this winter.

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.
