Travis Watson Added To U.S. Team
In 1999 Dada All-Star Classic--(March 22, 1999)

Dino Trigonis, the organizer and impressario of the Dada All-Star Classic (this is the third one) which will be held at Pauley Pavilion on April 18, 1999, and which will feature two games, an "All-California" All-Star game, and a "West v. U.S." All-Star game, has told us that Travis Watson (6'-8" Sr. PF) from Oak Hill Academy, will be playing with the U.S. All-Stars squad.

For those of you not familiar with Oak Hill and Travis, he's a tremendously talented player who has signed with the University of Virginia for next season. He's a human dunking machine, very exciting to watch, and with all the talent on both teams, this should be one of the best games of the year.
