Sorry, Dad, but living up to your reputation isn't the biggest burden on the shoulders of Dwayne Polee Jr. these days.Sure, his father was the L.A. City Section Player of the Year at Manual Arts and a two-time all-conference star at Pepperdine but Polee Jr. has found the expectations as a freshman playing varsity boys basketball at Westchester High to be his biggest burden these days.
"Westchester is such a big school and has won so many City championships, it's a lot to live up to," said Polee Jr., who didn't sleep the night before his first practice for the Comets.
It might not be easy making a college commitment to USC before you score your first basket in high school but the rangy 6-foot-5 forward carries the burden with a braces-filled smile...
