Ryan Curry would have fit in nicely with the current Montgomery squad, and last year’s too. The point guard played the game hard, and with a laser focus, very business-like.
Almost, you could say, with military precision.
So it should come as no surprise that after a year of prep school in upstate New York, he’s now a standout at West Point for the men’s basketball team.
Curry is third on the team in scoring at 12.4 points per game, and has dished out a team-best 98 assists, while shooting an eye-popping nearly 40-percent from downtown, making a team-best 71 treys this season for 15-11 Army.
But he doesn’t just put up numbers. He comes up clutch.
Go back to last Saturday. He scored 30 in a 116-110 double-overtime win over Bucknell that Army set a single-game all-time scoring record.
What. A. Ballgame.

And that wasn’t even his first heroic act of the season.
In early December, he hit the game-winning three with six seconds left in another long one – this, in triple overtime – to give the Black Knights a 103-100 victory at Le Moyne. Curry finished with 24 in the win.
And the kid is just a sophomore.
