Congrats to Brian Sullivan's dad and a t-and-f lister, a.k.a. the "Other
Sully" on this list.
This makes (at least) two of the four Foot Locker Regionals with Chicago
South Side connections. Midwest FL Regional winner Matt Withrow is from
Andrew H.S. (Tinley Park, Ill.) on the South Side. Brian Sullivan's dad
was a teammate of mine at Thornridge H.S. (Dolton, Ill.) also on the South
Side and not far from Tinley Park. A job transfer moved the Other Sully
to Texas, a bad trade for Illinois;)
