16 Tucsonans have danced
I wrote last week that 13 basketball players from Tucson high schools had participated in the NCAA tournament in the Pac-10/12 era. My research was a little shy. The new number is 16. I omitted three: CDO grad Anthony Norwood Lever played for Oregon’s Elite Eight team of 2002; Tucson High’s Sama Taku started for Pacific’s 2013 NCAA team; and Salpointe Catholic’s Brian Smith played for New Mexico’s 1999 NCAA team. Smith is now the director of the Colangelo School of Business at Grand Canyon University.
