SPRING VALLEY — Rachel Fanning had a pretty good idea her youngest son Brett was going to be a basketball player when he was still in diapers.
“Basketball was the first thing he crawled for when he was six months old. He always had a basketball,” she said. “We got him a Little Tykes hoops for his first birthday and hung it on the front door and that’s all he ever did, crawl along the floor and put the ball in the hoop.
“He had a nook in his mouth and a ball in his hand.”
