They were undefeated state champions, probably could have beat any other high school team, and still the greatest team in Kansas high school basketball history.

Yes and Darnell Valentine went to KU, but he did miss the layup against the Shockers in New Orleans that would have sealed the game.
I got to know James Carr some and I am surprised if he played HS BB with Antoine, as I thought he was a lot younger. He used to hang out where I worked a little bit, Dillards.
