Especially for Black kids in the big city like Derrick \"D-Bow\" Bowen. He's a 6'3\" freshman, lightning quick, and he can \"slam the rock\" like the greats. D-Bow hopes to start at point guard for Marion High, but senior Nick Starks already has that position nailed down. Plus, the coach is old school. He thinks D-Bow needs to work on his game, his shot, \u003ci\u003eand\u003c\/i\u003e his attitude. That means bench time for D-Bow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt's on that very bench that some folks from Hamilton Academy, the elite school in the suburbs, come sniffing around.
