The Quakers
There is more than one NCAA Basketball Tournament.
A small local, when I went to NC, school in Greensboro NC is going to the NCAA Division III championship series.
Guilford College, part of the Old Dominion Conference, is going back to the championship series for the 2nd year in a row.
This is huge for this College. Back when I went there we never won anything. The most excitement we had was from a two sport letter player Greg "keen-eye" Sims who played both Basketball and Football.
His brother, Marvin Sims, was drafted and played a couple years in the NFL for the then Baltimore Colts.
Greg's claim to fame was that he was easily one of the best athletes on campus, and...
He got invited by the Cowboys to attend their training camp. This was the same year that Everson Walls, who was another undrafted invite too, started and all Keen-Eye could talk about was how great Everson and all the other starters were.
Unfortunately Greg did not end up making the team but had an experience of a life time and great stories to tell.
So, congratulations to Guilford and good luck in the tournament!
