Helped lead Racine's Horlick High School to the state championship game in 2008-09 ...

This is poorly worded as I read it to mean they won the game.

[We R Final Four]

Van won title as a junior, lost title game as a senior.

I may be thinking of someone else, but a few years ago didn't Buzz say he wants kids who have only known winning.

I'd say he's found them!

I will make the distinction about Vander.

Question ... Jaymeel McKay is missing becuase I could not find his High School results.  can anyone update?  Did he win or play for a state title?

Here's an article on Dawson and his backcourt mate prior to the championship game.

No.  When Jamel was a senior Milwaukee Pulaski's record was 15-9.  They lost their final game at Racine Case 89-55.  I believe that that last game was a state tournament qualifying game.  Jameel scored 24 points in the loss and averaged 23 points on the year.

I thought Jake Thomas won one playing for Racine St. Catherine's?

Jake Thomas and Duane Wilson have been corrected.

You can add Jaymeel McKay to this idea as Indian Hills was NCJAA #3 in the nation and might have won if the fight did not happen.

Shudder!  That sounds like something my sixth grade teacher Sister Claudia would say.
