Twenty-four years ago this week, I received a phone call from someone who wanted to educate me on Granby High boys basketball history.
The Comets were preparing to play for the 2000 Group AAA state title. The person on the other line, with his booming Southern drawl, wanted me to know that this team wasn’t the first Granby team to be playing for a state title.
He told me that Granby won a state title on March 12, 1950.
How did he know? He was the star of that team.
