Thanks for all the info. I heard this was a pretty good tourny, i mean i hear a lot of good teams have been here in the past. Players like Sean Dockery(Duke), Donavan McNabb and Antoine Walker(played on the same team) and a few others.

Shaun Livingston of the Clippers is another one...David West, who was so good at Xavier, played in it a couple of years.

 

It's a very good regional tournament, with some really good teams from all over Illinois, and a few pretty solid teams from Tennessee, Kentucky, and occasionally Missouri or another state (Texas, Georgia, Indiana have all been represented).

 

It's a really cool old gym too...but dangit, I hate playing the Centralia Orphans there, lol...they get the, um, exact right officiating crew to get the team in position to go to the semis or the finals

It's a unique one. There's at least five different legends as to where the nickname came from.

what did you think of the tournament. I sat behind the sky box crew during the 3rd place game didn't see ya. What did you think of Parker from Centralia?

I had to get back to Memphis after the 10 AM game...I do stats for University of Memphis basketball, and I couldn't skip the game that night.

 

I *LOVE* Joey Parker's game. Hate it when you're playing against him, but he's the hardest-working player I've ever seen, and he gets more out of his limited physical ability than just about anybody I've ever seen. Any chance he'll move to Bartlett?

 

It was a better tournament than I was expecting, considering the records of several teams coming in.
