Stephen Green EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS James Jackson Basketball Coordinator Dr. Tekshia Ward -Smith ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Chris Chilton ATHLETIC SPECIALIST Mark Brock 2 DEKALB COUNTY’S LONG HISTORY OF STATE CHAMPIONS DeKalb County’s proud basketball history began and continues with a championship pedigree. The Clarkston boys brought home the first state trophy in 1940, and 41 other teams have since realized the big prize in the ensuing 76 years. From legendary coach Elmer Morrow ’s dominating boys teams at Druid Hills in the 1950s to the current boys powerhouses at Miller Grove and Columbia, the list of win- ners is an impressive one. Druid Hills knocked off Avondale (50 -44), Tifton (47 -44) and Jeff Davis (55 -42) in state finals in 1953, 1954 and 1957 respectively. Stone Mountain and Clarkston on the boys side, and Druid Hills and Stone Mountain among the girls served as the other early local powers. E.L. Rainey , another of DeKalb County’s original hoop coaching giants, led Stone Mountain to the Class B crown in 1957. Tom Church guided Clarkston to its second boys state championship with a victo- rious effort in the class B final in 1964. The girls matched the boys for the first time at Druid Hill in 1960, with Virginia Canady coaching that squad to the Class AAA title.

  • 20Questions for DJ White
    20questions Interview by Jeremy Shere Photography by Ben Weller & Paul Riley for D.J. White 64 Bloom | June/July 2008 Taking His Place in Hoosier History IU men’s basketball has had its share of great big men— Kent Benson, Alan Hender- son, Jared Jeffries, and many more. Now, after his stellar senior year, we can offi cially add D.J. White to that list. Throughout a tumultuous season, White was a rock in the middle. His steady and often spectacular play an- chored the Hoosiers, leading the team to a 25-8 record and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Averaging 17.4 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, White was voted Big Ten Player of the Year, named fi rst team All-Big Ten, voted second-team All Amer- ican, and has now emerged as a top NBA prospect.

Photo by Paul Riley (above) Photo by Ben Weller June/July 2008 | Bloom 65 Of Eric Gordon (right), White says, “We’re going to have a lifelong friend- ship.” Photo by Paul Riley But anyone who followed IU basketball WHITE: No, it’s not scary. I’m over the fact that over the past four years knows that White’s “Hey, I’m standing next to such-and-such.” But, importance went beyond statistics and awards. it’s an honor, I think, to play with those guys, At a time when many of the best college especially Kevin Garnett and Shaquille O’Neal. players leave for the pros after one or two years, Standing next to them, that’d be an honor.
