Denison's T.J. Taylor and Sherman's Brad Hambrick both have been  named to the all-state team by the TABC.  It made me realize that these are great times for these two basketball programs.  They have both made the playoffs the last two years in a row.  They have each made a significant run in the post-season recently.  It's only going to get better.  Taylor is just a sophomore and is already being looked at by Oklahoma, UCLA, and others.  Sherman has a super-soph as well, in Cameron Clark, who will probably be all-state next year.  These teams have had success in the past, but it's been a long time since the talent level was so high around here.  I say that  with apologies to now coach Jeff McCullough, who was quite the "baller" in the early 90's.
