Stepping up: Scott City standout takes game from western Kansas to national stage.
Thanks coach O'Neil!
"He really taught me how to be a better basketball player — shooting, passing, defending, being a good teammate, and how to act in the general public," Baker said. "He taught me the I.Q. of the game and how to do the little things. He's the guy that taught me a lot that got me where I am today. But I'm certainly not the Ron Baker I was in Scott City. I'm more of a role player here."

I have only been through Scott City once. I actually planned a stop at Lake Scott State Park just north of Scott City on the way to Colorado about 10 years ago. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by Lake Scott State Park. Not real big, but very pretty. This was about 10 years ago so I hope there is still plenty of water in the lake. Very interesting and pretty little park if you like to get off the beaten path. If I go that way agains sometime I will have to make sure to wear my Shocker gear, although it may not stand out like it would have back then.

When hanging with my Scott City bud in college we went to KC to hang with his brother. Six Scott City grads were renting a 2000 square foot house in KC MO (they were 23 and working). We pulled in on a Wednesday and there was a pile of beer cans which had been raked out of the yard and a box clothes that had been burnt on the porch. Cars were parked in the grass and on the curb. I thought of Animal House when we pulled up, but these fellas were straight out of workaholics (but 10 years ago).
I walked in to the house and some 300 lb hairy dude in his under ware was reading Atlas Shrugged and some chick wearing only a man's t-shirt offered me a shot of cheap whiskey.
That night was pretty cool. My friend and I only had one rule going into that night, "don't have sex with an 18 year old mormon run-away." We both broke that rule.
I love Scott City and I love Ron Baker!!!Livin the dream

He's not a basketball fan but he knows who Ron Baker is. Per the game broadcast there are 2800 people and 2 stop lights in Scott City. My colleague called BS on the population…3000 minimum! he declared.
