I noticed that the leading scorer on North Carolina A &T (who played Seton Hall last night) is Lamont Middleton Jr. I assume he is the son of former Johnnie Lamont Middleton Sr. It is nice to see a local kid (he is listed as being from the Bronx) and a son of a former player of ours having success at the D1 level.
Noticed the kid but didn't see the Jr. Still figured it might be his son. Lamont Sr. was a real solid ballplayer for us. Undersized PF but tough as nails inside.
He wore a hard hat, went to work and got the job done. Transfered from University of Hartford and gave us two solid years.
He was a really nice guy too. I remember talking to him a lot when I was with the Torch. Middleton and Mitch Foster were the two JUCO transfers who were to add toughness to the bench.
Yes, definitely a nice guy but he was not a Juco transfer. He came from the University of Hartford and sat out a year. Interestingly enough, they would not let him practice that year and wanted him to concentrate on his grades. I believe he went to Walton H.S..
