Oh, Brother; basketball star, too
Well, I knew that Nick “Brother” Saban quarterbacked Monongah High to the 1968 state football title, one of five in Lions history.

But it wasn't until I looked at the 1967 Monongah High Black Diamond yearbook, which I will convert to an online album in a month or longer, that I realized that Brother also was a starter on the basketball team that went 17-3 that season.
Nowadays, “Brother” collects about $8 million a year as Alabama football coach.
He played his football at Kent State before working his way up to becoming the No. 1 college football coach in America, although Ohio State’s Urban Meyer is trying to unseat him.
