Pennsylvania athleticism and drive to become a double-double machine has a low post game that continues to blossom “He’s amazing,” senior teammate Colton Straight said Sow (rhymes with sew) is the marquee player for a Montour squad considered one of the best Class 5A teams in the state but life hasn’t always been golden for this tall teen who hopes to lead his team to some gold medals and trophies in the next two months.  This is a kid who just over three years ago left his family in Senegal to come to the United States 160-pound 15-year-old who came to this country all by himself and without knowing a lick of English As if Sow didn’t face a huge challenge already the basketball program he traveled more than 4,000 miles away to play for folded just a few months after he arrived and he and some of his teammates were booted from the house they were living in took in Sow and have since become his legal guardians fitting in as a student in the United States And with the help of the McComb family and the Montour community overall if that’s of any indication,” Montour coach Bill Minear said of Sow who was actually picked to be “prince” during homecoming ceremonies You’ve got to go to prep school.’ But the things I’ve learned here Todd Price has been principal at Montour High School for 18 years Price has interacted with thousands of students over the years but said that none of the others have been quite like Ama whom Price said “ended up at Montour for a reason.” “Ama’s story is a very unique one,” Price said “I think it’s one that potentially could have not had a quote-unquote happy ending but I think this is one of those stories that ends really well for him.” which has a population of just over 1.2 million Sow comes from a big family and said he had a happy childhood He said he lived with his grandmother for a while before moving into another house that also included his parents and two siblings Selle Hann has known Sow since the latter was a child now an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin at one time lived in the same neighborhood as Sow remembers when Sow was so small that he was not a center or even a forward I had some basketball shoes that I was giving out to kids in our neighborhood Ama was so small and he had these shoes that were so big on him Sow was part of a basketball academy in Senegal was mainly on fundamentals such as dribbling and shooting skills that he also refined by watching videos on YouTube But there was a critical part of basketball that Sow did not learn back home Sow would record videos of himself working out tagging coaches in the United States on the posts Sow said that got the attention of prep schools from around the country One of those schools was First Love Christian The school had a strong prep program that would regularly send players onto Division I colleges Jeremy Grubbs was an assistant coach at First Love at the time Grubbs is a Pine-Richland graduate who is now an assistant at Pepperdine “Ama messaged me on Instagram and started sending me his [videos],” Grubbs recalled and Sow eventually decided to leave home to come to the United States and attend First Love especially with Sow not knowing any English paving the way for Sow to come to the United States in December 2021 only 15 at the time and knowing no English needed to fly to New York City and then to Pittsburgh and then find his way to a home he would be living at in Trafford To say that was a challenge would be an understatement “He made it from New York to Pittsburgh and the home that he was staying at by himself with no cellphone,” Nicole McComb explained “I can’t tell you that my other 18-year-old could do that I don’t think a normal kid would have been able to do that Sow said he took online classes at First Love in addition to learning how to play basketball he had never even played 5-on-5 prior to coming to the country lived in a house that was actually a converted funeral home “There were seven guys in three bedrooms,” Grubbs recalled Sow played in just a few games at First Love that season which turned out to be the final one for First Love The basketball program folded following the season and merged with a prep program in Scotland It was just before that program folded when Jake DiMichele was first introduced to Sow DiMichele was a star player at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart High School and is the third-leading scorer in WPIAL history but prior to that played at First Love Scotland Campus so I started working out with their guys,” DiMichele said And then First Love moved to Scotland Campus where I went “I was scrambling trying to help this kid out trying to figure out where he could go at least for the summer I called Dave [McComb] because he’s a guy I’ve known McComb vividly remembers that phone call he received from Grubbs in May 2022 McComb said it was on a Thursday morning and he was on the golf course ready to tee off on the first hole “He explained the story,” McComb remembered “He said he was going on vacation and said do you want to take this kid?’ I thought for like two weeks when he was on vacation All of the kids that were there were gone but Ama He really can’t go back to his home country.’ we’ll take him.’ And then I told her like three days later.” a small diner in Coraopolis named after his daughter He and his wife had three kids of their own when Ama joined them — Brandon Bieranowski is now 18 Brandon played basketball at Montour before graduating last year while Aiden is a 5-9 sophomore guard on this year’s team Ama has become a member of the family … literally the McCombs became Sow’s legal guardians after just two months of him living with them “Everybody kind of voted,” Nicole McComb said and as a family we just enjoyed having him around.” Sow and the McComb siblings have become tight That’s especially true when it comes to his relationship with Gianna who seemed to always be flashing a big smile while interacting with Sow following a practice late last month When a reporter asked the family to make their way onto the court for a photo unsure if he was supposed to be a part of it Gianna then looked at Sow and adorably said “I feel like they are my brothers and I see them as my brothers,” Ama said of Brandon and Aiden this whole saga of Sow becoming comfortable living in this country has come with quite a few obstacles “He had to learn the American way of doing things and that was very complicated for him for a while,” Nicole said “What he had learned and what he believes is his culture is not how we do things all the time Figuring out what to feed Sow was a challenge it was difficult for the McCombs to figure out what they should and should not be feeding Sow And then there was the topic of what to do during Ramadan the monthlong period in which Muslims don’t consume any food or drink during daylight hours “Ramadan was crazy for us the first time because he can’t eat during the day So is it disrespectful to eat in front of him?” Dave McComb questioned and then you’re trying to force feed him as soon as the sun goes down.” that being loading and unloading the dishwasher Sow has made friends with members of the local Senegalese community which Nicole McComb said has been a great resource for him especially during times when he’s gotten homesick and during the holidays That community includes Pitt basketball players Papa Kante and Amdy Ndiaye Sow began taking classes at Montour High School at the start of the 2022-23 academic year there might not have been any student in the entire district more excited to get started I didn’t get a chance to go to school there I was really excited to go to school and meet new people.” that lasted for about six months,” Dave McComb said Sow has come a long way these past few years one of the biggest improvements being his English he knew so little English that he was watching American television shows with the captions on so he could learn [the language],” said Grubbs who has maintained a relationship with Sow “He’s done a great job of advancing his English and that’s because he put a lot of work into it.” Sow said that watching TV is one of his favorite hobbies outside of basketball He lists “Prison Break” and “Money Heist” as being his favorite shows The McCombs said that some work needed to be done to figure out where Sow was academically considering nearly all of his previous school work took place in Senegal But Nicole said that Montour did an excellent job in helping Sow land in the spot where he needed to be Sow had to double up on some classes his first year (sophomore) but has not had to take any summer courses He’s a strong student and is on track to graduate in the spring “He sits in the first row of every class he’s in “He’s tried so hard to assimilate himself and learn the language I give him credit for dealing with the circumstances Whatever Ama decides to do in his life’s work It’s almost hard to believe that Sow has been playing actual basketball games for only a handful of years Just as he has made huge strides learning a new way of life he has taken similar giant steps on the court “I’m proud of the fact of how willing he is to learn but he’s a hard worker,” Minear said of Sow the tallest player Minear has coached in his several decades of coaching Sow’s numbers on the court have improved each season he averaged 13.1 points a game as a sophomore 17.1 as a junior and now 21.6 his senior season who a few weeks ago scored his 1,000th career point is averaging 17.4 rebounds and 3.7 blocked shots per game He has produced a double-double in every game and collected his first triple-double when he finished with 33 points 18 rebounds and 10 assists in a win against West Allegheny last month He’s shooting 48% from the field and 82% from the line it’s easy to see why some believe he is the WPIAL’s best player DiMichele has kept tabs on Sow these past few years “The improvement that that kid has made over three years becoming more adept to the American culture Sow is a major reason Montour is 18-1 and has WPIAL and PIAA championship aspirations The Spartans (11-0 in section play) have wrapped up the Class 5A Section 3 title and have a strong shot of earning the No 1 seed in the WPIAL playoffs when the brackets are announced next week The Spartans own strong wins against the likes of Upper St and their only loss was to a team from Florida Ask Sow about playing high school basketball in Western Pennsylvania Another thing that is pretty cool is that Ama’s family back in Senegal watches many of his games via internet streams Ama said he is in contact with them nearly every day and Dave McComb said that hope is for Sow to return to Senegal to visit them for a few weeks following graduation but he’s also pretty popular following games “You’ll see kids in the youth program come up to him,” said Price “They’ll ask him for his autograph and shake his hand A lot of kids today get caught up with themselves but he’ll go out of his way to interact with people.” but having Sow leave the area will be a transition for the McComb family it’s going to be like a lost organ for her,” Nicole said “And I’m going to need to find someone else to pick on.” Duquesne offered in the fall of Sow’s junior season so picking the Dukes and staying local was on the table Another intriguing option was to go to Pepperdine to be reunited with Grubbs none of them went as far back with the big fella as Hann The Skyhawks are a Division I team that competes in the Ohio Valley Conference Sow became the first recruit to sign with first-year UT Martin coach Jeremy Shulman and Hann called Sow a “big time” recruit for the program “He’ll fit into our system well,” Hann said He’s a big-time fit with the basketball part of it and we want to bring in young men that are really great kids You can bet that many in the Montour community will be following Sow closely as he moves onto college and maybe even into the professional ranks one day “We’re just hoping he makes it to the NBA and remembers to get us peanut heaven tickets,” Nicole said who calls Anthony Edwards his current favorite player and Michael Jordan his all-time favorite ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’ I’ve said that I want to play in the NBA,” Sow said Sow has a steep hill to climb to achieve that specific dream of his but it’s probably not wise to bet against him considering what he has been through overcome and accomplished these past few years “That’s a big-time story that needs to be heard,” Hann said “I’m really proud of him because it’s not easy it’s a big-time story and I’m super proud of him.” Brad is a sports writer at the Pittsburgh

have served as kickstart for a domino effect for the recruiting class as a whole RELATED: Kansas football transfer portal tracker: Who’s joining the Jayhawks, and who’s leaving? “Quarterback is going

guestbook at www.borekjennings.com Kansas quarterback David McComb was at the forefront of a breakthrough year in the Edmond Memorial High School football program he helped the Bulldogs to just their second-ever playoff win and their first trip to the Class 6A-I semifinals since their district split into multiple high schools in 1994 That drew the admiration of his future quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator “It was really cool for him to stay in the same school … I was really impressed by that,” Zebrowski told reporters on March 4 “When it wasn’t a football-type school he helped it become a football school.” Lance Leipold and the rest have tried to do with KU’s program more broadly at the collegiate level toward helping the Jayhawks continue to establish themselves on the national stage he’s merely an early-enrolling freshman settling into college “It’s been great,” McComb said on Saturday even (Jalon Daniels) has been helping me just learn the playbook Every time I have a question they’re there for me on the field McComb was a three-star recruit out of Memorial where he finished his career as the Bulldogs’ all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns Not a lot of programs were recruiting McComb at least before the team started to have some success — “It’s so funny,” Zebrowski said they go from a one-star or two-star to like a 22-star” — but KU Director of Player Personnel Grant Murray took note because he was finely attuned to the sorts of attributes Zebrowski covets “Two words I always look for is loose and sudden,” Zebrowski said also mentioning that McComb has a slightly unusual arm angle for off-platform throws “He’s sudden in his ability to make decisions and make different types of throws McComb received a scholarship offer from KU in May 2023 and committed to the Jayhawks just two months later before even starting his junior year of high school He got to see KU’s entire 2025 class take shape over the course of the next year and a half “We’re not as fast as the ’26 class,” McComb said “The ’26 class has a lot of recruits coming in But it was good to see some guys like (wide receiver and fellow early enrollee) Bryson Hayes flip and all that stuff KU switched offensive coordinators twice from Andy Kotelnicki to Jeff Grimes and then again to Zebrowski McComb said he thought Zebrowski might have gotten the gig when Kotelnicki left “but sometimes it doesn’t work out that way and he’s done a great job so far.” “I’m super excited because he’s recruited me from the start,” McComb said he said he’s picked up the playbook pretty quickly (“That’s something I kind of take pride in”) and more generally benefited from enrolling early But he’s encountered other challenges as he learns to read defenses more quickly and improve his footwork The biggest hurdles have been more mental than physical “You got to always look for that next rep,” McComb added “Don’t get too down if I mess up I’m going to make mistakes and just learn from it and keep improving.” He is indeed only a freshman at this juncture and low down the pecking order at quarterback even with Daniels extremely limited during the spring due to his recent knee
