Final Four in San Antonio

First stop was Atlanta for the McDonald's All American Game.  We stayed at the Glenn, an autograph collection Marriott hotel in downtown Atlanta.  The weather was chilly.  We enjoyed dinner out with Sharman (U16 asst. coach in 2015) and his wife Jem.  BJ Johnson (past USAB team director) Monday evening.  Tuesday evening we attended the McDonald's All American game social and got to connect with three of our U16/U17 players.
