I stopped over at Payton to catch as much of the Jones game before heading over to the DePaul Prep v. St. Rita game last Friday. I am glad I did. Payton has a good basketball team and a lively gym atmosphere. Once one can get in the building that is.
I was impressed by senior guard, forward and center Brennan Moore. He can do it all and regularly does. He and his band of large omnivores put a solid beating on a very good Jones team.
I had a nice chat with coach Ross Burt after the game. “We don’t really have positions,” he told me.
I couldn’t work up a proper story in a timely fashion but I will get back there for the full treatment at some point.
Oh, and they have really interesting halftime entertainment too.
