Last night at the DCU senator. Where the overtime win shocking overtime win. Okay this kid's a freshman nick Chris Chris said she'll. Freshman hits a three to put the game and overtime and Franklin beats a Springfield to go to the state finals. Now Chris angel's father. Jim Mitchell yeah. Played for came hundreds of Latin back in the eighties. He won a state championship. And he lost a station in Geneva and a team meal Robinson. Great team. Jimmy it's a loses the state championship to Springfield. And never gets over. Last night his son hits a theory that gets the game and overtime against two Springfield the team that beat his dad all those years ago. To play home in the state finals came Richards who left his dad's alma mater. So wait a second he was able to get revenge against the team that slate is that although as years ago yes finally and now. He has to beat his dad's former team yes and his dad's win the state champion air that is insane the odds. Infant tax write the gloves and a story about this. Also I believe. The dads teammate on that one of his other teammates in that state champ Richard team from pig Latin is the coach now of that team so the sun is playing against the dad's old all the moderate and also. His dad's former team and we have them on the line now I think. Jim Ed Jill. Are you there. Our air married. Now the tie and we have to the stories are coincidentally I woke up this morning and saw your son on the front page. Of the metro west daily news. That the Reid putting in overtime and I ate my heart dropped. Because actually edgier and I've played together sounds very. That's automatic and you can tell everyone here how credible analyst Tim glad it's gone and don't say. In my own mind so Jim. I think it's. Since you know forty years look at it as the state. I've never seen a better ballplayer you. Let's say you are you Jimmy Chitwood of Salem statement edge was edges and all American a real player I was a bench warmer but Jimmy how did you feel last night. We're about ten seconds left on the game. Other than having a heart attack yes. There was there was extremely exciting. It's definitely easier playing than watching your kids play I can assure you that. Yeah I must be a lot harder for you from now how do you feel about the fact that your son just made it. So that Franklin. Is playing your alma mater for the states every ship. Well but I told my gun camera is expected to get the state championship and isn't the first time Franklin has broken through the glass window. Oh it is it's exciting for the sound I mean. I'm a marked Sunday as a freshman in his living there but I'm not quite sorties and understand. How how big and help Paramount decisions until he gets a little bit older but I can tell you as a community it's really exciting. To see what's happening to overtime win the last two games. I don't think it ever happen in the state. And the whole father son things incredible to Jimmy is actually screws with you. He's let may want speaker right now is next to me smiling a little nervous but he's right here. So Chris. Did you know like was that a play that you took that three would no time to put an overtime reviewed as it was in no other choice the ball that kicked union just took it. Not ever play like we Detroit. Our best here. And then I got into the corner and actually found an open shot. And I have a treasury debt to Jimmy any part of you is any party that. Once came Angela and to win in the state finals because it's your alma mater human side playing with different. Right a parent there right now brother and Purdue volley active right now we're root for Franklin well. It's a good present alive market value I'm glad I was able to teach you everything you know Jimmy about hoops. Back in the days zones and it's. Did you tell nick how much money albeit from the game courses we applaud I don't think we need to bring out its gotta be it's going to be tens of thousands of dollars. And so lot I'll marry let us know offline I think some that. Obviously if if if he played basketball the way that he knows radio. Mamet tell you his mouth writes checks his body can't cash on a daily basis so I can only imagine that he's basically an indentured servitude do you. It's. Dot dogmatic there was greater detail the medic we had we have a legendary coach started yet exciting it to get exciting for president Franklin right now. Or will look at Oprah to Saturday. Take us next time I talked to crystal play about how your daddy's shop to practice and boxer boxer underwear. That matter and I didn't. All right that's right also worried he had chills congratulations. Greg. Elation or them that is truly the circle of the father and son it's an amazing ever loses to that team thirty some odd years later his son comes back to defeat the team.
