Rick Mahorn from Weaver and Marcus Camby and Michael Adams to name a few from Hartford High. Bob Nash was also from Hartford High earlier and then played at Hawaii. Randy Lavigne grew up near me in Hartford. He helped South Catholic win the basketball state championship in 1974. But I thought his best sport was baseball which he played at UConn along with basketball. HIs little league team (8-Ball) was 18-0 I believe helped by his pitching and hitting. He even participated in the Hit, Pitch and Run at Yankee Stadium and I think came in second. That was baseball's answer to football's Punt, Pass and Kick. But as good as he was, his ascent stopped at AAA for the Iowa Cubs. That just showed me how special you need to be to make MLB. [/QUOTE]
