FOSG Michael Carvell lets us know that Elbert County’s Rod Rucker has channeled Lovetron and Jerome Lane.
The 6-4 double-double machine shattered one of his school's backboards in the first round of the region tournament against Mountain View High School in Elberton at ECCHS's arena- "The Inferno"- last week.
The HQ loves that nickname, by the way...
"Rod Rucker, our big man, he got a steal… fast break. He threw it down with two hands, and it just shattered. The glass just shattered. It came down.” Elbert County Assistant Coach Jeff Bennum explained to WSGC Radio in Elberton.
”[The crowd] went crazy… just went berserk.” Bennum said. “Some fans came down on the court. It was crazy. It’s just something you don’t see very often, you know.”
Play was stopped for an hour, according to WSGC, and the game resumed over at the middle school. Elbert County won 81-54...
Here's the dunk...

Their version is a little longer, and they played with the speed of "real time."
And all the above story does is let us show you again when Bill Raftery asked Pitt's Jerome Lane to do a certain act... 1/25/88 at the venerable Fitzgerald Fieldhouse
