The players on Team Teague had seen enough. They threw their arms up in frustration. They complained to their coach. It was the new kid again. He couldn’t catch.
Before the tournament started, Team Teague coach Bill Collins received a call about a tall kid with talent. There were only six or seven players on the 7th-grade Team Teague and they were all guards. Naturally, Collins invited him to play.
But as the tournament started, the new kid couldn’t handle the skilled passes of the Team Teague guards. He couldn’t run the floor. He missed layups. Even if he was open, it wasn’t a guaranteed make.
