Peeler, Coward, Buntin, Smith, et al would all play at Brewer. One time Coward had his arm in a cast and no matter what I did I couldn't come close to stealing the ball.
My best Smith/Peeler story was as follows:
I was shooting baskets by myself in the old gym. I was terrible and I had convinced myself that dribbling down the lane and doing a scoop shot from the freethrow line was innovative and could change the game forever, so I was doing it over and over again.
In come Peeler and Smith cutting through and asked for the ball, so I threw it to Smith. He told me to go up for an alley oop. I couldn't touch the rim, but I lost my mind and ran down the lane and jumped. The ball sailed over the rim and I grazed the net.
They doubled over laughing and laughed all the way out the gym. I watched them walk and laugh across two courts.
