Fourth-year coach James Martin was changing the basketball image of Georgia's second-largest high school, a football school that had produced at least three NFL players, Willie Gault among them. State quarterfinalists the year before, the Bears came in ranked No. 2 in Georgia's AAAA. 6-6 sophomore forward Darrin Hancock, called the best sophomore in America, averaged 24 points, backed by speedy 6-0 senior guard Andre Favors, a college prospect, 5-7 senior point guard O.J. Parks (8), 6-5 junior pivot Kevin Sinkfield (10) and 6-1 senior forward Wiley Henley (9). 6-0 coming in.
