Huntington Prep and Canada's most sought after teen not named Justin Bieber, Andrew Wiggins went north this weekend to play some ball in the land of Sugar Shacks and John Candy.
It was a homecoming for most of Prep's team, as they are about as close to an 18 and under Canadian National Team as you can get without being, well, the official U18 Canadian National Team. (Cordia in Kentucky is making an effort too)
Prep played ULA, a Canadian prep team, in Hamilton/Burlington/Toronto...whatever Canada. All we know for sure is that it was in Canada, in that general vicinity of the Toronto metro-plex, they saw Niagara Falls and Huntington did what they usually do: Won impressively.
Wiggins scored 25 in his native land, while fellow Express teammate and countryman, Xavier Rathan-Mayes edged him scoring 27 to lead the Huntington Prep efforts in cold, cold Canada.
Huntington Prep played in front of another packed house, this time on foreign soil (kinda), and beat ULA 81-52.
However, we are telling you this not because we feel as if you are deprived of Wiggins tid-bits. If you have stepped outside of your house in the last year in the Huntington area, you have heard the name Andrew Wiggins. If you are a Kentucky fan, you have traveled many miles through several surrounding states to check out Wiggity Whack.
But now, Big Blue Nation has proved there is no distance too far and no passport that can not be obtained.
Folks, we are crazy. In various photos taken during the game, you could see several Kentucky-clad spectators taking in the scenery. We chose the above picture because that dude is wearing a Kentucky jersey. Which explains the arrow pointing him out. It was not to point out the ULA bench.
You know, just in case you didn't pick up on that.
