Johnny Long Legs (2009)
“For each basket scored by one of his teammates, Stogy scored two. He was lightning fast and easily the best player on the Astro Jets team.
Johnny stayed in when the second quarter started. The Astro Jets were leading 13 to 7. They took the ball from out of bounds and moved it across the court in a series of quick, snappy passes. Johnny covered the backboard as an Astro Jet shot one from the foul line, but an Astro Jet outjumped him and caught the rebound.
A yell went up from the Astro Jet fans. “Nice going, Stogy! Those long legs! They're too heavy for him to lift!”
Johnny tried to shut out the needling cries. They pricked and hurt. Could he help it that he couldn't jump? He was trying, wasn't he?
Nat Newton took Toby's place and plunked one in from a corner. Later Johnny was fouled as he tried a layup and was given two shots. While he bounced the ball at the foul line he prayed he would make both of them.
