Brandon Born, a former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball legend, played another sport throughout high school.
The father of a neighborhood friend owned a driving range in Ringgold.
So he picked up that game, too, and played and practiced some of those shots in addition to his free throws and post moves that eventually earned him a spot in the UTC Hall of Fame and three Southern Conference tournament championship rings.
Born played in many crucial moments during his career. He sank important shots, stole important rebounds and helped the Mocs prevail in many win-or-go-home situations.
He’s playing under a different pressure this week.
