re: Was Louisiana's greatest high school BB player

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.
