Closing out the Saturday Morning Session here with, “How about that ‘Big Kevin Thompson”, the boys assistant coach from Wesleyan….That man is 6’10 and he is a big and long 6’10….He played at Glenn High School over in Kernersville with his teammate 6’6 Bryant Feggins and then they both went on to play at N.C. State, in Raleigh….That man is big, I’m talking real big and the only bad part for Feggins was he was a nice kid, but he usually ended up in big, I mean real big trouble, like getting shot over at N.C. A&T…I remember interviewing Feggins down at Moses Cone Hospital and his wearing his hospital gown….That was kind of crazy and again, Thompson is big, I mean, real big…..

I remember Thompson and Feggins from camp at Wake Forrest. Thompson dunked on me for the first time in my life. We were in the 10th grade rising jrs. Both guys were a blast to hang out with that summer. They had a teammate that went on to play at Southern Cal. Feggins and Donnie Seale were co-players of the year in NC. All three signed with State. Thompson went on to play some in the NBA
