Former Coogs basketball star Quentin Grimes takes a trip down memory lane to his alma mater, College Park HS to have his jersey raised to the rafters.
Clifton McNeely is not only a basketball coach, he's a bit of a fortune teller.
Seven years later, Quentin Grimes is, indeed, a pro. And Thursday, fortune-telling coach McNeely was part of a special celebration of Grimes' journey. College Park retired Grimes' No. 5 jersey during a halftime ceremony at the football team's home opener vs. Klein Cain at Woodforest Bank Stadium Thursday.
"Not only has what he has accomplished impacted basketball players - it's impacted our entire student body," McNeely said of Grimes' success. "Individuals now have dreams and goals and they realize that if you work for them, you have the opportunity to achieve them. Obviously, I see it daily with our basketball players trying to get to the collegiate level and play at the next level, but I think there is an inspiration for all of our students at College Park.
