One night in late 2016, I was scorekeeping basketball games one night. One weeknight when I started to converse with one of the referees during halftime. He was telling me how he had officiated the Pebblebrook High School vs. IMG Academy game at the Holiday Hoopsgiving Classic and that Pebblebrook’s Collin Sexton was a special talent. Yes, the same Sexton that could now be the Cleveland Cavaliers starting point guard
Having never heard of Sexton, I did what many high schoolers who love sports do: I looked him up and watched his highlights. I didn’t fall asleep until 1:30 that morning, forcing myself to finally stop watching the 7th-ranked recruit in the nation.
