Lol, that reminds me that myron piggie was arrested a couple of years ago for selling stolen chicken wings.....like someone stole a semi of chicken wings and myron piggie was unloading them around town.

Korleone didn't stand a chance.

I saw him sucker punch a prominent attorney when they were playing a high school game.  The resulting shots/possession cost East a game in which they had been previously been dominating.

People who were in Wichita during Young's days at East: did you hear a rumor that he punched his girlfriend to cause a miscarriage?

I'm wondering if that legend reached beyond my high school. It always struck me as  :Wha: :dubious: :opcat:, but a friend swears it's true

My 7th grade traveling basketball squad faced Korleone in a barn burner of a Championship game at the McPherson shootout. Manhattan ended up winning at the buzzer. Top 5 sports memory of mine. We knew Korleone was good even back then. Don't remember any of the other Wichita teammates or even the team name.

His full name is Suntino Korleone Young.   Weird.  :dunno:
