Anyone remember when we played Bradleyโ€™s Hersey Hawkins in the mid 1980โ€™s?

The day before the big snow in Charlotte and Hersey scored 50 on us? We had everyone on the team guard him, and he could not miss. I think he missed like 4 shots the whole game. I drove back to school from Asheville to watch, and ended up not getting back home to trade cars with my parents for 3 weeks from the snow storm.

Was there with BigTimeNiner and it was a shooting clinic.

Funny thing to me as I look back was Bradley basically ran Lutzโ€™s future zipper play 1000 times and there was no stopping it and everyone in the building knew it was coming.

The thing I remember most about the Bradley game was Hawkins dropping close to 50 on us and his coach, Gene Smithson if I recall, was bitching at him for passing up shots. I was close enough to hear him yell โ€œGD it Hawk, shoot the damn ball!โ€

If most people had the night he had, they would never pass the ball the whole game. We had Bannister on him at 6โ€™8" and it was still just the net.

Yeah I remember he torched us on ESPN that night. I was at the game and Hawkins played out of his mind. Was kinda embarrassing.

Coach Fearne is a good dude and I believe a good coach. Can he succeed this year and we have a very good year? Who knows given half the roster flipped, which ours and 90% of the programs out thereโ€™s future every year.
