Message: [QUOTE="TRUCONN76, post: 3669232, member: 4143"] I had the pleasure of seeing super John Williamson play in a tournament in Derby CT about two weeks after his Wilbur Cross HS team lose to Hiilhouse High for the state championship his senior year. In the championship game Williamson had 42 points in a loss by a score of around 92 to 91 points. Hillhouse was the second ranked team in the country and lost to the number 1 team by 1 point earlier in the year. Hillhouse was lead by Curvan Lewis a 6’9” 225 lb man child and 6’6” guard Charley Farley both all staters. They had three other players who were all state in the next couple of years. Including a 6’5” freshman forward. Cross had 6’1” Williamson and not much else. Williamson had to play center on the team. Their rematch in Derby was a near duplicate of the state championship game 41 points for Super John and a 92 to 90 loss. But seeing Williamson play is still the most dominate personal performance by a high school player I ever saw. I did see Antony Harris and Mile Giminski and Earl Kelly play in high school and they weren’t close to Williamson. John’s brother was called Jiggy Williamson who played at UMass. Jiggy was a very good guard but John was at a whole different level. [/QUOTE]
