OJ's back!

[Mountaineer]

Tonight was OJ's triumphial return to the hardwood. It was a rematch against Capital HS. I went to the game and sat press row (I work for a media outlet - membership has its privledges).

I was bothered that Huntington administration did not stop the student section from chanting "Where is Lazo?" Many of them were adorning referee shirts . . .

I noticed that OJ was actually dunking in pregame. Not sure what your definition of a dunk is, but mine is above the rim, making a downward push toward the basket. Trust me, even though he didn't touch the rim - he was dunking.

Lots of dunks - LOTS of them. Huntington was very much the superior team. Even with more than 20 turnovers they won easily. Many of their turnovers came from missed allyoops.

OJ was on his best behavior. I left with about 3 minutes left in the game and HHS up by 20 - I think they won by 15. I noticed that Chris Early only played about 3 or 4 minutes in the 2nd quarter. He's already signed at Oklahoma. I guess he must be somewhat of a troubled kid because I don't think McGuffin plays him much.
