Laney

Andy and I went to a Laney High School basketball game last week. They were playing one of the local rival high schools (Hoggard). We wanted a chance to check out the gym and one of the kids who goes to church with us plays on the team as well. For those who may not know it, Michael Jordan is from Wilmington and he went to Laney High School. When Melanie came out to visit us in September, we snuck into the gym and, in the dark, we tried to get a look at the place. Although we couldn't see very much, we were pretty disappointed. The gym is pretty run down and the bleachers are...gross. There are a few Michael Jordan posters on the wall and the gym floor has a classic MJ image on it, but other than that, you would never have guessed that this was where he started out.



As a side note, we have it on good authority that this is the coach...THE MAN...who coached AND benched Michael Jordan.
