Columbus Horizons Basketball T-Shirt
In preparing for their inaugural season, the Horizon looked to secure the services of a local college hoops star by making them their first round draft pick. Jay Burson, who at that time was the leading scorer in Ohio high school history, had suffered a fractured cervical vertebra in a collision with an Iowa player while playing for Ohio State. Despite being drafted by the Horizon, Burson signed a three-year contract with the Houston Rockets of the NBA saying he would not play for Columbus. However, after being released by Houston and clearing waivers in October 1989, he decided to sign with the Horizon. Burson wasn't signed just to sell tickets, Horizon coach Gary Youmans said. "We want Jay as a player, not as a drawing card. He might attract some fans but we want him so we can win ballgames." In 34 games with the Horizon in the 1989-90 season, Burson averaged 13.6 points a game.
