Ohhhhh.
It's a link now, because I suck.
That is hilarious. Wouldn't matter what the kid was wearing, he looked like he got ran over by Wormley, then there is a mass of kids charging Walton. Glad he was out there, good PR for the program.
Ha, that is NDP. On a related note, Maurice Searight dunked on my head at that very hoop two years before he signed with Michigan. Thank God twitter wasn't a thing then...
I'm similarly curious what the occasion was, gonna ask some old friends who are still around there.
NDP runs a yearly summer kids camp for basketball. Walton attended Chandler Park Academy in Harper Woods which was the home of Harper Woods Notre Dame Prep. In 2005 Harper Woods NDP merged with Oakland Catholic in Pontiac. NDP's coach (Whitney Robinson) played for Harper Woods NDP before going on to help take CMU to the tourney. I also believe Walton and Robinson have some sort of personal connection, but I am not positive about that.
Nice, that's some Kevin Bacon level connections right there! Thanks for the info. Though just as a small clarification. Whitney played at Harper Woods Notre Dame and that was the school that closed in 2005. NDP was seperate from Harper Woods. In fact, the two were "big" rivals for the small window they were both open. NDP took over Oakland Catholic in 1994 (and Oakland Catholic had taken over Pontiac Catholic, who had previously taken over St. Bens at the same site).
Thank you, I knew most of this from attending Pontiac NDP but am too recent for this to have really affected me. Also a little sidenote, NDP was kicked out of the CHSL this year for refusing to play a crossover game against Brother Rice/DLS/OSLM/DCC/UDJ.
Nice. You must be pretty recent, or I must be pretty old (potentially both). Depending on how recent, you probably had some of my NDP class of '99 classmates as coahes or teachers.
Emojis do not render on the site. You have to remove them in the plain text editor before saving your post.

That explains why I suck.
Makes sense... Emojis didn't exist in the 1990s when this site was created.

Sadly he was just imitating a MBB defender from last year. It was hard to tell who he was emulating as they all pretty much looked like that. jk kind of.
