Tim Duncan

Timothy Theodore Duncan (born April 25, 1976) is an American professional basketball player who has played his entire career for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Widely considered to be the greatest power forward of all-time, he is a five-time NBA champion, two-time NBA MVP, three-time NBA Finals MVP, and NBA Rookie of the Year. He is also a 15-time NBA All-Star and the only player ever to be selected to both the All-NBA and All-Defensive Teams in every one of his first 13 seasons.

Duncan started out as a swimmer and only began playing basketball in ninth grade after Hurricane Hugo destroyed the only Olympic-sized pool on his home of Saint Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. He soon became a standout for St. Dunstan's Episcopal High School, and had an illustrious college career with the Wake Forest University Demon Deacons, winning the Naismith College Player of the Year, USBWA College Player of the Year and John Wooden awards in his final year. Duncan graduated from college before entering the 1997 NBA draft as the number one pick.

Tim Duncan (born June 12, 1979) is a former American football placekicker in the National Football League for the Arizona Cardinals. He played college football at the University of Oklahoma. Tim also played for Kentucky State University in the division II SIAC conference during the 1997 season when he helped the Thoroughbreds win the inaugural Pioneer Bowl.

He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders.

He was the starting placekicker for Oklahoma's 2000 BCS National Championship team.

NFL career

Duncan played two seasons for the Arizona Cardinals backing up starter Bill Gramatica. Due to Gramatica's inconsistency and injury problems, this made it a necessity for the team to keep two kickers.

He appeared in five games in 2003, making 6 out of 10 field goals and 5 out of 6 extra points, with his longest field goal being a 53-yarder. He was released on November 10, 2003.

On March 30, 2004, Duncan signed a two-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, only to be released August 30. He would later work out with the Tennessee Titans, but wasn't offered a contract.

History

Origin

The Cathedral Quartet announced their farewell tour in 1999. Lead singer Glen Payne died on October 15, 1999 before the end of the tour. Upon request of Glen Payne, the remaining members finished the tour with pianist Roger Bennett performing Payne's vocals. Following the tour Bennett and baritone Scott Fowler formed Legacy Five while Ernie Haase continued his solo career.

Formation

Former Cathedrals bass George Younce and Jake Hess, along with Bill Gaither formed The Old Friends Quartet with Ernie Haase, Wesley Pritchard, and Garry Jones. The Old Friends Quartet disbanded after about two years on the road, as Hess and Younce's ill health prevented them from doing much traveling. Haase, along with Jones, continued quartet singing and wished to create a quartet with a modern image and attitude, but traditional in sound. Haase and Jones, together with lead singer Shane Dunlap, baritone Doug Anderson, and bass singer Tim Duncan formed the Signature Sound Quartet. They recorded three albums, "Stand by Me" released in April 2002 followed by "Building a Bridge" in 2003. They participated in their first live concert, "Live In Indiana" at Reardon Auditorium, in Anderson, Indiana, on February 21, 2003.
