12-30-99...Lew Wallace avenged an end of game shot on December 3rd that
came by way of the hot hands of Brandon Cameron in the finals of the
Gary Holiday Tournament hosted by Westside. Westside slowly narrowed
the Wallace lead throughout the game, but a 10-of-12 shooting performance
by Wallace from the freethrow line in the fourth quarter secured the win.
The game was within reach for the Cougars, if only they had converted on
a few of their 14 missed freethorws over the course of the game. (stats
below)
2-27-99...In what turned out to be a controversial move that
would draw the disgust of Horace Mann head coach Roosevelt Pulliam,
Gary West's Ike Brown did not dress his top six players for the
season-ending matchup with Mann. While Pulliam took it as an insult,
Brown explained he had his eye on the tournament, and at least one
player (Kenny Lowe) nursing an ankle sprain. So, the heirs to the
1999-2000 Westside team took the floor against Mann and won 56-49.
Westside was led by two guards, Jamaal Travis at the point with 14
and Brandon Cameron at the off-guard position with 12 points. Cameron
is only a freshman and is getting early attention as one of the best
players in the Class of 2002. Cameron will figure to be a key
contributor for Westside next year when they lose ten seniors, five
who were starters and seven who will likely go on to play Division I
basketball.
