Fiercely Caring
<p>The Big Red went to a Catholic all-boys school in Newport, Kentucky. He enjoyed sports but never fantasized about playing in the NBA. In fact, during his freshman year, he decided to quit basketball after an argument with his coach. Nevertheless, by his junior year, Cowens grew to 6’ 6” and with a newly hired coach he decided to give the sport a second try. Once Cowens was a senior, he was close to 6’ 8” and his competitive spirit jolted him to one of the best players in the nation. The Newport team went 29–3 behind Cowens' 13 points and 20 rebounds a game, despite his skinny 190 Ibs size. The center received offers from virtually every major college but ultimately joined Florida State with coach Hugh Durham.</p>
