More HS Hoop Talk as we close out our Saturday Morning Rewind session:Big Kevin Thompson, Metro Boys POY and NGFS
Posted By Andy Durham on February 4, 2012
Closing out the Saturday Morning Session here with, “How about that ‘Big Kevin Thompson”, the boys assistant coach from Wesleyan….That man is 6’10 and he is a big and long 6’10….He played at Glenn High School over in Kernersville with his teammate 6’6 Bryant Feggins and then they both went on to play at N.C. State, in Raleigh….That man is big, I’m talking real big and the only bad part for Feggins was he was a nice kid, but he usually ended up in big, I mean real big trouble, like getting shot over at N.C. A&T…I remember interviewing Feggins down at Moses Cone Hospital and his wearing his hospital gown….That was kind of crazy and again, Thompson is big, I mean, real big…..

And the New Garden Friends School Bears will battle Pace today and if you get a score, send it our way…….
I remember Thompson and Feggins from camp at Wake Forrest. Thompson dunked on me for the first time in my life. We were in the 10th grade rising jrs. Both guys were a blast to hang out with that summer. They had a teammate that went on to play at Southern Cal. Feggins and Donnie Seale were co-players of the year in NC. All three signed with State. Thompson went on to play some in the NBA
Just got a call. the NGFS game at Pace will start a little late. Best of luck to the Bears.
New Garden is up by 21 at the half.
Send us a final on this game for NGFS….
New Garden rolled to a 77-54 win over Pace Academy of Chapel Hill. Kanayo Obi-Rapu, Jr led the way with a triple double….15 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. Keemon Ingram scored 17 to lead the scoring for the Bears and Nolen Morgenstern followed with 14.
