Thank you to Chad L. on HawkCentral for this...
CJ F's season updates:
23.1 points per game
58.3% shooting average
48.9% from 3 point range
3.9 assists average
3.2 rebounds average
Team: 34-3
His team had to win 10 straight games in order to reach the Kentucky State Championship game, which they won. CJ scored 32 points on 9/15 shooting in that game. We all know that he was GatorAid Player of the year in Kentucky.
As to the critics' charge that Kentucky is not a good basketball state (which I am not sure where that evidence was produced), and that CJ's team did not play stiff competition, you will be interested to know that there are NO basketball classes in Kentucky. And, CJ led his team to that championship from a relatively small school. Its like the old days in Iowa when I played hs ball. And, no, we did not use peach baskets and center jump after every bucket. But I do remember Sioux Center, Iowa, beating Davenport Central HS in 1959 for the Iowa State Championship. If you are interested, I can name the starting 5 for Sioux Center along with their heights, and where they played in college.
Boy. This sure was fun to write! Cannot wait for our negative group to poke (imaginary) holes in this summary of Chad L.'s article. Just a reminder: Chad is the media guy that called Fran out and said that in the future, Iowa basketball teams should be bound for the NCAA tournament nearly every year. That darned old cowardly Iowa Media.
