    It's called South Philadelphia High School. It's referred to as Southern only when you're talking about sports. Nell was the man.

    I remember seeing Simmons play in the 1989 MAAC championship with my dad. My dad who was a coach had the best quote about Simmons that I still remember to this day.
    "When they announce Simmons they should just say 'basketball player' because that kid does everyrhing."
    And he did. Could score in the post, could drive, had a good outside shot, could rebound on both boards. Could lead the break and pass in a halfcourt set. Great defender who was able to guard everybody from a power forward on down to a point guard.
    And up until his legs went out on him he was a very good pro.
    Thanks for the upload.

      I remember it being referred to in some hoop magazine (jokingly) as Nintendonitis.
