Tucson High, Pima standouts meet again 

Two of the top players in Pima College men’s basketball history, Shakir Smith and Murphy Gershman, met last week in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference game. Gershman’s Colorado School of Mines swept the season series against Smith’s Adams State. Smith is Adams State’s top scorer, at 22.4 per game. Gershman has struggled, averaging just 2.9 points. Both played at Tucson High School.
