Basketball had great mentor who could play

That is me on the far left front row. If Renee and Tristan wondered where Papa got so good playing basketball I played 2 years it was called Intermural back then or little league or whatever. But I got so good I played at the beach alot and also played with a guy in this picture he is on the far right back his name was James Allen Dean or Bubba Dean to us. Bubba played intermural and was on the high school team he is the one who nicknamed hipsley which I will explain in another picture. But Bubba at one time held the Florida title for High Jumping in Track and Field he did the fosbery flop and the height he held was 6' 6" as a sophmore in High School. Bubba had alot of athelic abilities. We also played alot in the back yard of Daryl Ziegler my best friend in high school his nickname was Big Zig. There you have my basketball career.

Story behind Sag and Gnaw

This was my freshman year at South Plantation High in Broward County we had been running wind sprints in Ft. Lauderdale where its always HOT and that is me all the way on the ground puking. The caption says Sag & Gnaw. It then says "Once again it's that time of year at Broward high schools. Young men are reporting each sweltry humid afternoon to football tryouts, and after about 2 hours of wind sprints and calisthenics, they kinda sag a little. Later will come the gnawing feeling of anxiety before the first cuts.

Paldin stories

The Paladins this is how I got the name Hipsley I do not know if he is in this picture or the other one but his name was Craig Hipsley He was a strong running back and mowed people over I met him in the hole one day and sent him flying backwards well Bubba Dean was at practice and started calling me Hipsley for I was the New Hipsley and the 77 was my number my mother made a beautiful ceramic in the paladin colors with my number on it I will take a picture and post it. In the color picture I am number 64 at the bottom third in from the right the coach on the right his name was Bill Whorman (sp) and he was also an actor in Flipper and played the mean guy once and stole flipper. This was a brand new school and my class was the first class to complete 4 years at this high school.
