But Berkeley High’s Glen Burke, a midget of 5-10 for the Alb State Classic, likes the dunk as much as any seven-footer could.Although ha li only S-10, at limit Burke plays more like he Is 18-1. Hehad drawn special praltt from South coach Howard Lyons after the All-Stars* first scrimmage.Burke has a dunk'ng drill he works on purely for fun, where he bounces the ball, runs and grabs it and then heads for the basket where hi easily stuffs the sphere down the rim. In effect he not only dunks, but also scores an assist during the drill.Thus far, it has been alt for fun, But for Wednesday n'ght for the first lime In h's co* reer, the 5-10 footer will have a chance to Huff In a contest that counts.
