:10—“Schifino High School”…aka Penn Hills High School brought “Game and Heart” to the dance and they danced with the “Big Doggs” for as long as they could. Unfortunately, The Big Dogg was “Jackson Twins High School”…aka Allderdice High School and “Their bark is every bit as bad as their bite!!!” Penn Hills is a next year team and they will be back at the dance, but for now, the Dragons are rollin’ strong and high above the rim. Yeah, the Jackson Twins are extremely talented young men, but their supporting cast is more than just that. Point guard Ramon Creighton is superb in his role. Strong Div. I body. Great court sense, and can hurt you in a number of ways. “Too Tall Tim” Pugh changes a lot of people’s minds in the paint and the diamond in the rough Jordan Rawls is and can be the factor on this talented squad once he finds his “Mean Self’ and keeps it on the floor during game time. And pay attention, you can see it now, but next year Jahi Ogbonna takes the wheel and that ride accelerates tremendously. Great job Coach Buddy Valinsky. A state title awaits you.
:09—I am proud of all my Brothers and Sisters from the Dice and Indian Country. You represented yourself well.
:08—Somebody better go by “Smokin Jim” Frazier’s house and check and see if he’s ok. I think he done lost his damn mind. He said, and I quote…”Allderdice is the greatest team in City League history.” Huh??? Now look, you know I love the boys. I just praised them, but trust me, that just ain’t true! Here’s an unofficial quote from legendary Coach Howard Bullard… “You better revisit the Dobbs brothers, Derek Suber and Big Kinsel, and Bill “I can jump as high as I want to” Herndon before you lock that down!
:07—Stay with me young bloods while we’re in this corner. The president of the “Know-It-All-Club” Eddie Jefferies, says there have been none better than “The Son of Cain,” DuJuan Blair and the D.J. Kennedy crew. And, after all, he is the president. Coach Kirk Bruce will humbly tell you you’re going to have a hard time beating Maurice Lucas, Jeep Kelly and Ricky “Black Magic” Coleman, they of the “71” Schenley High State Champions. And, of course, I and other Old School cats will dare you to suggest that anybody can beat the legend that was Kenny Durrett, Petey Gibson, Montell Brundage, Marvin Snowden, Charley Burley and the Schenley “66” State Champs. But the question any basketball mind has to ask is…and I want you to read this slowly…When—You—Look—At—The—5th Avenue—Team—Ranked No. 2—In—The—Nation—Who—From—Any—Era—Is—Going—To—Guard—Sam Clancy, 6’6”, 245 lbs—Then Who’s—Going—To-Guard—Bill Clarke, 6’9”, 220 lbs.- and-if-that’s-not-enough—Who—Stops—Warner Macklin…Nobody!” And—then—after—all—that—you—have—to—worry – and-I-do -mean worry—about the superior skill set—David “Puffy” Kennedy—brings—and—if-that’s—not—enough—who—will—hope—to—contain “Mr. Mean and Nasty” aka “Mr. Peoples” And-no-I-did-not-forget-the-shooting of Weegie Whitner. Changed your mind, yet???
:06—You keep thinking, no you keep hoping that the Pirates are set to win the World Series. But you really know better don’t you? You know what they say. “No pitching…no peace!”Well, that’s not what they really say…”But no world class pitching. No World Series!” That’s what they say!!!
:05—The Penguins are still playing. That’s all I got!
:04—Peyton Manning retired. Thanks for the memories, but if we don’t fumble that ball against Denver, Mr. Manning would be riding out of town on a different horse. Trust me. Yeah, I know. Would-a, could-a, should-a!
:03—Pitt…Pitt…Pitt…
Pitt…Pitt…c’mon man!
:02—Now hear me on this. I’m not one to go in for name-calling. I think it’s lowdown, cheap and immature, but know this, Donald Trump is a fool and if you vote for him, you’re a fool. Oh, my bad!
:01—Booker, Zik, Fred Crawford…where ya’ll at? Kobe and the boys beat down the Warriors and I don’t hear from ya. The Black Mamba will get ya!!!
~ GAME OVER ~
