Ohio Town to Honor Michigan Recruits (and Teammates) at Parade
PIckerington is honoring Michigan recruits Taco Charlton, Caris Lavert, and the rest of the State Basketball champions as the Grand Marshals of annual 4th of July Parade. Link. Sorry that only Chris Wormley gets mentioned as a Michigan recruit in the article, but that's small town journalism for you (along with being unable to reach the coach for a quote).
Get here early for a prime seat along the parade route. You can also see every emergency vehicle owned by the local police and fire departments, and some fine floats...
Awards will be given to the "best looking" parade float in both commercial and non-commercial categories.
Hmm, I wonder if the awards will also have air quotes around their accomplishments?
EDIT: title un-cuted. No, Wormley is not in parade or from Pickerington, but he is the only specific basketball player mentioned in the article.
They should be at the least.
Isn't Chris Wormley from Toledo?
Taco and Levert's team beat Wormley's Whitmer in the title game. He is not one of the individuals being honored, the article just mentioned him being a part of Whitmer and that he is coming to MIchigan.
celebrating his decision to join a better side of life... HA!L
Chris played for Toledo Whitmer which lost to Pickerington in the D-1 state finals in basketball this season.
looks like the fence around the state of ohio is still badly in need of repair. GO BLUE!
When I real the original title of this thread I thought: "I can see this ending badly..." Nontheless, it's still good stuff.
I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. A parade featuring recruits going to Michigan is a good start.
I will go see Taco and Lavert. I grew up in Pickerington, and my folks still live there.
