Jamie answers his own questions.
"Jeff, great call on Mr. C. He was a great fan for us as well as giving us insight into how we could be better. I remember a conversation he had with me about shot blocking. He told me that Bill Russell was so good because he would not only block the shot but would keep it in play so that the celts could get possession instead of looking cool by sending it into the stands. I give lots of credit to Mike Allen who got me started on hoops, getting me to go to summer basketball camps, and teaching me the correct way to play the game: defense, fundamentals, teamwork and striving for perfection. Looking back, if there was ever a guy I wanted to impress even after he moved away, it was Mike Allen. Derek Brunell was also a guy that pushed me in the early years. As for greatest supporter, there's no doubt that my brother was and still is the best at that. Thanks Jeff for always being in my corner!!!"

Mr. C. is a great choice. I don't know how many games of one-on-one we played out on that pittiful hoop outside the school building! No matter how many times I beat him he always wanted to play again! I know he added strength to my game! He fouled hard!
I appreciate the love guys, but putting me in the top 10!?!?!? Every year I played I had incredible teamates! I could have done anything without the guards!!! You know who you are. Jeff, Nate, Dave, Matt V., Stertz
I also had the luxery of always playing with another big guy on the other post! Jamie, I learned so much the 2 years I played with you and Jon B. is an ox! I don't know if anyone went over Jon B's back for a rebound!
Yes, Jason! Thanks for reminded my of the Redi-Whip Game! Probably the worst game of my entire basketball career.
I can't argue with the Class of '93 stuff too much! That was a great class. I had some of my most memorable high school moments with that class. I'll never forget driving to Canaan to play 2 games in 2 days. Guys sleeping in the gym and ladies in the library. Playing duck pin bowling and listening to Dave D. sing "ICE, ICE Baby"!!!!!!
