Eddie Gray played with Marcus Martin in ’05 and ‘’06. Back when “Pops,” Marcus’ dad, was taking the Taft High Senators from an afterthought of Cincinnati prep football and making them a capital idea.
“The best teammate you can ever ask for,’ Gray is saying about Marcus Martin. “I’d have to be up there with Marcus to miss it. I wouldn’t miss it for the world…I knew him since he was in eighth grade and I was in ninth and his Pops would bring him up to Taft and we’d shoot baskets in the gym.”
Pops made sure nobody missed it because that’s the way it is now.
