Malik Newman has garnered national attention for his basketball exploits.

The MaxPreps Freshman of the Year and No. 4 ranked player on the 2015 ESPN 25 has agreed to sit with “A Good Sports Hang” and the “Jackson Advocate” to give us his version of a summer basketball diary. The ESPN HS Freshman of the Year will join me periodically throughout the summer to give updates on his travels. In Malik’s second entry (June 16th), we sat down with his father Horatio Webster for a special Father’s Day discussion.
