We’ve gotten two big wins since I blogged last.  Tonight we beat Florida Atlantic and last Saturday we beat Illinois at the Gwinnett Arena.  I wasn’t allowed to go with the team to Gwinnett due to NCAA rules (but I did attend the game) so while they were in Gwinnett I went home.  I got to see some high school teammates I hadn’t seen in a while.  We usually end up watching some film from our high school games and talk about the good old days.  We came across some funny stuff including the storming of Pope’s court in the clip I’m about to share.

Here is a clip from what was almost my last high school game ever.  We were in the first round of the region tournament playing Matt Bucklin’s Pope Greyhounds. Winner made it to the state tournament; the losing team’s season was over.  The game was tied and we had the ball.  Our SG, Brody Littley, drove and missed a floater.  I ended up with tipping the ball in at the buzzer for the win.

The best part of the video though is our fans.  During my senior season, Milton had some of the best fans I’ve ever seen.  They had theme nights for most of our games and the theme for this game was “Make It Rain”.  After the tip in, our fans pulled off the awesome but rare storming of the opponents court.  Those that were truly dedicated to the theme proceeded to open up their umbrellas to shield the crowd.

The second best part about this video is my dad’s play-by-play announcing over the phone to my mom who was out of town.
