Gary HS Boys Basketball this weekend

This weekend, I of course, will be at the Panther Den watching my school play against the Cougars, the Panthers ain't doing to well this year, only have 2 wins on the season...maybe Coach McKissack can make a statement against our rivals...and then on Saturday I will be watching Bowman play this Ft. Wayne team...I keep hearing a lot about Cylk Joseph so I am going to check him out...I went to the game that they lost, at West Side last week...he didn't play that much due missing practice earlier in the week due to personal family issues...Coach Marvin Rea says that this is the one the best kids he has seen in long time to come through Gary...and that is saying a lot! He said that on any giving night Cylk could put up 40 points if he just gets his head into the game and this kid is just a sophomore.

Matter of fact I was impressed by the way that this whole team of sophomores played against a powerhouse West Side last week even though they were clearly over matched by the speed, power and experience of the 4A West Side...it is going to be very interesting as these kids from Bowman grow together and get more experience!
