From the Taft High archives a photo to remember
Back in 2002, there was a photo taken of the three basketball standouts at Woodland Hills Taft: Jordan Farmar, Steve Smith and Matt Cook (see above).
They’ve done pretty good for themselves.
Farmar went on to UCLA and the NBA.
Smith was a standout receiver at USC and in the NFL.
Cook is a big-time fashion model.
They’d still be a formidable three-on-three team.
Their coach, Derrick Taylor, smiles when he sees the photo and remembers the days.
