Pictures or Videos of mtxe

[Ashockalypse]

I wasn't able to go to the game or watch it. With particular interest to the past players, if anyone has any additional pictures or videos of the halftime ceremonies or the players and coaches, please post them. I have seen all of the ones posted by the Eagle. The interview with Antoine was great and he looked great. He looked like he could play today. X was great as well although he might have to back away from the Training table-he would still get all his rebounds though. I didn't get a look at Cheese or Cliff or Aubrey. :yahoo: :goshocks: :clap:

Not quite a game shot, but I threw an MTXE shirt on Joel. He's probably not displaying the MTXE ideals, though...

The halftime celebration was awesome on ShockerVision from Colorado!

Thanks

Ok, here's a question (I apologize for not knowing)... when did James Carr play for the Shox? I am aware of Henry Carr, who played after Antoine, but I am not as familiar with James (I'm especially ashamed being a W. Heights grad...!)

[kcshocker11]

Not sure but he played with Cheese didnt he?

[shockball]

He was about two years ahead of Antoine. He was the least talented of the three that went to WSU.

I am thinking he was on the team with Antoine during Antoine's freshman year - but had the back injury.

[Ashockalypse]

James was 2 years older than Antoine and was on Heights state championship team with Darnell V. that won the championship game by 50 points. He went to Hutch Juco for 2 years and then transferred to WSU when Toine graduated from Heights. The five starters on that Heights team were Antoine, James, DV, Calvin Alexander and Adolphus Holden. Four of the five played Division one sports. Alexander played baseball somewhere and Doc Holden I think played Basketball for Arizona. James played a little for the Shox but did have a back problem as vancedave said. That is probably the best team the state ever saw.

Actually, James was on the '79-'80 roster with Antoine. Unfortunately, he injured his knee and was unable to play. I got his autograph on his page in the 79/80 Media Guide, but, having had the guide in shrink wrap, I had not read it. I'll try to read it tonight to see if it gives more info of his career up to that point. Like Ashockalypse says, he was a couple years older than Antoine, but I don't recall whether he came here originally or not. I'll see what I can find.

He was very pleasant to talk to Sunday.

More James

By the way, I seem to recall that he signed as #53. He is not listed in the 2004/2005 Media Guide as a #53. (That is the only Media Guide I have at work). I do seem to recall that he came in as 53 and AC as 35. Then AC used 53 in the NBA. Also, Henry used 53 as a Shocker. Wonder what Tracey and Terry would have done if they had made it? :)
