I looked over and over trying to see if I missed something. As you may know, I am very shocked whenever I don't Kwame on any list. He was a 1st team all state junior. You guys may be the only ones, besides his own team at Skyline, to appreciate him. This is going to be a great season for him, as he has said he is taking it personal that he is getting overlooked, and going to prove himself against some of the best. He knows ratings and stars don't really mean anything, but he is determined to be a McDonalds All-American. Long shot, but he is going to show the so call experts that don't even have his Skyline team in the top 3 in league that he is for real.
Congrats to Wendell Wright. I look forward to seeing him play when I go out there to check out Kwame's first game.
