I remember hearing about Freddy Jones when I was in middle school and he was a sophomore or junior. Saw him in person and you could tell he was several tiers beyond anyone else on the court. Our team managed to pull out the win in their gym at Barlow. It was one of the most exciting games I have ever seen in person to this day.
