STRAKE JESUIT / HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL


3 . 1 . 09

I went to see the Strake Jesuit basketball team play for the second time in the playoffs last night. They are the #1 team in Texas and the #14 team nationally. I can’t figure out the interest in high school basketball. Whether it was last night or 20 years ago when we used to create and play an imaginary league of the country’s best basketball teams, the excitement is always there. I guess once you play high school basketball you dream of being as good as some of these players, so you identify yourself through them.
