    PART I: Jeff Hall becomes shooting star from Westwood to Louisville

    PART I: Jeff Hall becomes shooting star from Westwood to Louisville

    First of two podcasts with Jeff Hall, the former Fairview High and University of Louisville basketball star. He played on the 1986 U of L national championship team - the only area player to own a Division I championship ring. He brought great pride to Westwood and the entire 16th Region as a key player who scored 1,294 points in his four-year career. He started every game, averaging 10.3 ppg. for the 1986 champion Cardinals. His point total would have been 2,000 had the 3-point shot been in play when Hall played.
