Randy Livingston was the man! But I do remember playing Lester Earl several times, he couldn't shoot but still was a beast. For any of you who played AAU ball in the mid to late 90's you may recall the Louisiana Breeze. They were coached by Sid Edwards. They ended up winning the AAU National Championship in Vegas. This team was absolutely loaded! Everyone on that team (13 players) signed D1 scholly. Lester Earl, Corey Powell, Tiger Womack, Kendrick Sprull (sp?), Derrick Jones. They were ridiculous. I wish I could remember who else was on that squad. I remember every time we played them or were in the same tournament the crowd was just full of scouts. It was really cool to watch them play, or to play against them, lol!


Who did you play for? I played with Atchafalaya, and we played those dudes several times. But I don't remember them being called the Breeze. Damn, it's been a while.

I had the opportunity to watch Joe Dumars play most of his games when he was in high school. Joe was a good scorer but he was not the defensive player he was in the pros. His senior year Natchitoches Central had a very good team and they were defeated in the quarter finals in Prather Coliseum when Don Redden hit a shot from mid court with time running out. Dale Brown wanted to recruit Joe and came to several games that year but there was a guard who's name I can't remember from Baton Rouge that ended up getting the scholarship.
