Have posted before, played mucho amount of ball with and against Kevin Boyle, Monteverde coach, who was at St. Pat’s, which became the Patrick School before heading south to Florida.
NEVER saw a tougher competitor; really way beyond tough, physically and mentally, backed down from absolutely no one. At 5’8”, he would match with any big if he thought he was the best option. Not a great player to look at or evaluate, but a great player once the game started. Totally respected, not necessarily well liked and genuinely didn’t give a $hit; if he was playing, and later coaching, if he was there, he was there to win, period.
