Our high school had a Jewish basketball player that was really good one
year when I was in high school. He led our team to (unprecedented?)
success throughout our part of southern Ontario. I remember hearing that
he'd been scouted by a US college. I think they offered him a
scholarship but I don't know if he took it, let alone if he
distinguished himself once there.
Hmm. Just did a quick google and it seems he stayed local, playing in
the Wilfrid Laurier University team for at least one season. I don't see
anything else about him. Maybe if he'd been a little better or had taken
the US route, he might have been the Sandy Koufax of the NBA....
