Jimmy's tidbits of basketball history for today: The Maxeys originally came to Lincoln from Indiana. We all know that the Hickory Huskers of "Hoosiers" fame were based upon the Cinderella team from Milan HS which won the Indiana all-school State title over much larger schools in 1954. Muncie Central was the largest class school that Milan beat in the final game. Other notable players who came from Muncie Central were, Ron Bonham who played for NCAA champion Cincinnati , Ray McCallam and Bonzi Wells who played for Ball State, and the late Husker legendary point guard, Jack Moore.

John Harris Jr. helped out with the Nebraska Basketball Camp in mid-June when my son participated. I talked with him. He seemed like a good dude to have around.

Phenomenal young man. Used to be able to jump out of the gym. Had a great career at Benedictine College in KS (I believe).
