Grace powers Boys Latin (Md.) past Archbishop Carroll

By Terry Toohey

Sam Grace was a little too much for Archbishop Carroll in the Crossover Hoops Showcase at Millersville.

The 6-1 senior guard from the Boys Latin School in Baltimore poured in 20 of his game-high 32 points in the second half to help the Lakers pull away for a 79-67 victory over the Patriots.

Grace hit 10 3-pointers, which was one more than the Patriots had as a team. In all, 17 of the Lakers’ 25 field goals were from deep. Cameron Spencer backed Grace with 16 points. Cameron Watts and Kendall Walker pitched in with 13 and 12 points, respectively, for Boys Latin (12-2).

Chester High School basketball star Warren Sutton finds redemption 60 years later

Sometime after Christmas, Warren Sutton, 79, will board a bus in Kitchener, Ontario, and, perhaps for the final time, make the 350-mile journey back to his old hometown of Chester.

There are nieces, nephews, and old basketball buddies he hopes to see. His real destination, though, will be Haven Memorial Cemetery. That’s where his parents and siblings are buried and where he’ll attend a headstone dedication for Emerson Baynard, the Chester High basketball legend who died penniless in 1993.

Basketball is Chester’s signature sport. And when the game was taking root there in the 1950s, Sutton picked it up quickly. A co-captain on the 1956-57 Chester High team that lost in the state championship game, he’d go on to become the best player in Alfred University’s history, a Canadian collegiate star, a draft pick of the NBA’s St. Louis Hawks.

But America’s links to racism were older and deeper than Chester’s to basketball. And that was something that, until he fell in love with a white Alfred coed, the young African American hadn’t grasped.
