Our first basketball Profile Series subject is a kid who when attending Henry B. Gonzalez Elementary who was playing Super Rival Liberty, made a last-second half court shot at the buzzer to beat The Eagles by one, a true highlight that was sent to ESPN back in the day. So, this young man is no stranger to pub.

His father is a close personal friend of mine who also was an accomplished basketball player himself garnering championships and stats across Mexico.
