ARTICLES / SECTIONS DOUG JONES GEOFFERY DAY JIM HICKS
Letter From DA Editor! Thanks for supporting this year’s issue of Da Magazine. The nation’s largest metropolitan high school basketball magazine has been in existence since 2003. Consider this particular issue a collector’s item, since it features the largest article I’ve ever written - a 19 page (yes, nineteen entire pages) cover story which is highly likely to either start or end the debate: Which former UIL high school state champion is the area’s best ever?
