HOUSTON – Lair Crawford has always believed it takes about a month for a football player to fully transition to the basketball court.
After Humble's football season came to an end, Justin Lawson made his usual move over to the hardwood.
It was at the beginning of District 22-6A play in mid-December that Crawford saw Lawson start to get his basketball legs again.
"Early in the year he was trying to do to much, I was like be patient," Crawford said. "Sure enough at the beginning of district, which was about a month after football, is when he started turning it on. The tournament after Christmas he had a great tournament."
