We headed to the North Side on Monday to chat with Blake Turner and to reflect on the team’s run to a 3A state tournament. We left with a three part interview that dives into everything from the disappointment of a fourth place finish to a debate over who he’d rather start a team with between Xavier Bishop and Yaakema Rose. We even dive into the revelations of Turner’s past in the middle of the 2013-14 season and what he learned from that experience.
Tonight, in Part 1, Turner looks back on the Lions eighth trip to the state tournament and explains why he thinks Cardell McGee Jr. is ready to be the next in line to lead Lanphier back for number nine.
