I think they went by birthplace. B/C Shaq played HS ball in Texas.
This would have been...roughly 86-88 or so...for some reason, whatever district Cole was in was having their track meet at our school. Our athletics/PE classes couldn't do our normal thing so our coaches just had us sit in the visitors bleachers and stay out of the way.
So we're doing our thing, being junior high idiots, someone at the end of the bleachers closer to the fieldhouse started waving over to us and screaming "hey everyone get down here, check this out!" Peer pressure being what it is, we hurried down to that side and got to watch Shaq-Fu absolutely tear up this hoop that was between the bleachers and fieldhouse. Quite a scene when you're from a small town and have never seen anything dominated that hard in your life.
