Wow... I didn't realize it had been 20 years since Calvin played.

History with Hayes: Observations from 2007

Another year has come and gone. With 2007 in the books, here are some random reflections and observations:

The 25th edition of the Arby's Classic could be classified as a success. Tournament champion Briarcrest Christian of Memphis put on a show behind the play of Most Valuable Player Leslie McDonald. The four semifinalists ? Briacrest, Archbishop Carroll (D.C.), Columbia (Ga.) and Urspring, Germany ? were all quality teams and the tourney once again featured some big-time college prospects.

The 2007-08 school year marks the 20th anniversary of the best senior season any athlete in Southwest Virginia has ever put together. Castlewood High School's Calvin Talford did it all in 1987-88, whether it was on the football field, basketball court, baseball field or setting numerous records in track and field.
