We have a guy on the team with us who is 27 and was in the Marines for eight years. He's huge, but can't run very well.

Archie is playing up there because he's trying to get a masters degree as I understand it. It's being paid for I believe by the Dallas Police Department where he is an officer.

He still comes down to Madison some during the season just to remind the kids that, in his own words, "It's still my gym!" During the summer he and some of the old guys who played for Madison during his time come down and play at the school during the summer with Chris Bosh, Byron Eaton, Bryan Hopkins, Jerome Rogers, Robert Hart, (the last two being the starting guards on the 4A state runner-up in 2000 as well as many others that most of y'all wouldn't remember like LaTronio Sheffield) and a lot of the Lincoln guys who are still around Dallas. It's some pretty good competition in that old gym, that's for sure!
