I played four yrs of HS BB and started as point guard my senior yr aveaging 9pts a game.
PRs
XC...5k..15:01 and 16th in the state
T/f..mile 4:29(8th in state), 2 mile 9:46
After HS I then joined the Army but I alway wondered if I had not played BB how much better would may have been in running. I was always getting hurt playing BB and I truely loved BB more than any sport at that time. Today I realize I love running more but look back thinking what if?
Oh well
i did hoops along with xc and track.
didnt start in hoops until my sr year; that year was all-conference and broke school record for 3\'s in one season.
prs: 17:26 in cross as a jr, my jock friends made me play football my senior year and luckily i didnt get broke returning punts and as a receiver.
ran 2:05 in the 800 as a freshman, only improved to 2:01 by sr year.
i too wonder what if i hadnt wanted to impress the cheerleaders and had done any consistent training.
basketball was fun though.
John Crews: Ran 9:02 junior year in HS, this year has run 14:07 on the track and led NC State to the Southeast Regional XC title by finishing 6th in the region.
He only played basketball his freshman year, but he was a pretty good point guard if I remember correctly (I think he started).
