James Dempsey was #1avalanche wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 11:11 amNot taking anything away from the kid, but Rick Edwards was Norms best player and it isn't close. Rick was on the Chesapeake 92-93 team. 6'8, center who went onto play at Richmond University. Rick's claim to fame is he held Tim Duncan to single digit scoring. I also believe he played over sea's. There is a very long list of very good players from Chesapeake that were as good if not better: Rick Edwards (Richmond), Joey Thacker (Liberty), Anthony Delimpo (Centerville), etcVetteMan wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 2:23 pmBeing that we are on a Basketball topic, I understand that this could be debated and never really settled, but I also think that he ( Kyle Ondera ) was the best athlete to ever come out of Jackson County. I would also bet that if someone were to ask Norm who was the best kid that ever played for him, he would probably never give you an answer, but he would tell you that Ondera was right at the top.
Edwards was also excellent and Dempsey’s teammate
