Years ago, here at Bullis Prep, players such as Arnie Ferrin, Lew Luce, Doug Moe, and Corky Carnevale hooped as they prepared for college in a post-secondary environment. Many Bullis students planned to attend the U.S. Naval Academy.

Orlando routed Washington 122-92, with DeMatha’s Keith Bogans scoring 17 points in only 18 minutes. Bogans shot six-for-eight, and made three of his five long distance efforts. Good Counsel’s Roger Mason, Jr. chipped in 14 in 28 minutes for the Wizards.
Milwaukee downed Seattle 118-106, but not before rookie Kevin Durant of Suitland poured in 23, to accompany his three steals. Local Jeff Green tallied 10.

Glenn compiled a tremendous 100-plus. I believe players had to be nominated by callers to his show to be eligble. The selection of Jim Lewis was astute, as was that of Jim McBride- and not enough is said locally about Frank Williams, after whom Coolidge’s athletic facilities are named. Those outside The Beltway may notice the quantity of players from DeMatha, Archbishop Carroll, McKinley Tech, and Eastern, historic programs all, but from what we’ve heard about the players named here, we’d take our chances with that Fairmont Heights’ group against anyone, any time.
