Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for December 27, 2012

College recruiters cross Fowler off list.

Neal must be familiar with Central NY, however, Corcoran and Nottingham are Class AA, and Solvay is Class B. They rarely, if ever, play each other, or a common opponent. So Milford boys have beaten one of the area’s better large schools and lost to a much smaller perennial also-ran. Very inconsistent. Fire the coach, bring in Marty the drunk. Dennis Hopper can play him in the movie version.

And around here Fowler is another AA school, not a depressed kid who can’t jump and has no shot.

Fowler’s game will explode after he grows one of those cool mustaches. Soon everyone on the team (including Gil and Kaz) will be sporting the new look. When the cheerleaders grow them, the Larks go undefeated!

I see it coming babe…me using my old man’s Gillette Trac II razor. Don’t know why I have a craving for Fritoes.

Is number 8 Jeremy Lin’s second cousin?

In many high schools (and the NCAA) 8 is an illegal number. No digit above a 5. (55 is good, 56 is not; 23 is good, 73 is not; 5 is good, but 8 is not). It makes it easier for the officials to signal who received fouls.

Gilfan, was the ref’s name Steve Boone?

Scott Fowler’s shot might be off because he’s thinking about Jay-Bird, but there’s no excuse for poor defense.

Don’t worry Scott, your jungle fever will kick in pretty soon.

Senior Moment.

I bet Coach Robert Knight can help Great Scott catch fire.
