Larry Drew takes it higher at Taft
Posted Mar 26, 2008
Larry Drew Jr., the North Carolina-bound point guard from Woodland Hills Taft, received plenty of teasing from teammates and coaches last summer because he couldn't dunk a basketball. "He was Woody Harrelson," Coach Derrick Taylor said, referring to the star of the 1992 movie "White Men Can't Jump." But after taking a couple of weeks off because of shin splint problems, Drew returned with a new talent.
