Jacobs reminded me of a nikka we faced in HS, Ayo Saba…One of those mythical nikkas you hear about leading up to playing them…Then he ran for about 300yds on us when we finally played.

For us older cats who played high school ball in NYC in the 90s, that mythical nikka you described was a guy by the name of Frankie Sinclair, a running back who played for Abraham Lincoln High School. Yes, the same Lincoln High that produced Stephon Marbury and Lance Stephenson, and if I'm recalling correctly, he was there with Steph.

He graduated I believe 2 years before I did. High school football back then in NYC garnered literally no buzz on either the local or national stage, and the only high school football players known by middle schoolers were their relatives, yet I entered high school knowing this dude's name, the school he played for, and that quite a few big time colleges were interested in him. All before I took my first high school class or even put on shoulder pads and a helmet for the first time. And I lived nowhere near Coney Island to put how big his legend was into perspective.

His name still rings bells to this day with the guys who played in that era. I guess every state, city, town, and district has their own version of Saba and Sinclair.

There was a season where I saw three different family members on three different teams get embarrassed by Reggie Bush. One of em got got twice cause Reggie embarrassed him in the 100 meter that year too.

Helix was in a different division than us though; I woulda had something for him. :ufdup: (:dame: )
