A CUT ABOVE Manning the paint, senior Harrison Ingram finishes an uncontested layup during the 2019-2020 Lions’ 56-47 SPC basketball tournament semifinals victory against Episcopal High School.
The best visit I went on was definitely North Carolina. They brought me in for the North Carolina-Duke game. Courtside seats. Fans behind me knew my name. Girls were chanting my name. I was a junior. Honestly, I was this close to committing to North Carolina on the spot.
If everything clicks, mark my words – I’m going on record – we are winning a national championship next year. I’m telling you. We’re tough.
It depends on the team. There were games. I’ll just say the team. Cistercian. I said, ‘I’ll pass, but I’m only going to shoot stepback threes. That’s the only thing I’ll shoot. If I have a layup, I’m passing to somebody. If I have a dunk, I’m passing. I’m only shooting stepback threes.’ Stuff like that.
