Boonie was a high school star when I was still in junior high playing basketball. He was one of my idols because of that jump-shot of his, especially from the corner of the court. He was the best I saw play for the Creek until guys like James Davis, Robert Brown, Chuck Trcka, and Bennie Lenox came along. I will always have him at the top of my list, however, because of the role model he played in my own development as a high school player.

I was a senior when Boonie moved to the district as a sophomore. One day I saw him shooting and remarked to a friend that he had a funny shot. Remember the jump shot was just coming into basketball. My friend said, "Yeah, but he makes a lot of them." But missing some did not seem to bother him; he just kept gunning and quickly would be back in the groove. That's what the good shooters do.
