 There have quite a few "Greats" from Linden-McKinley Highschool.  There are athletic and academic superstars, but who should be considered the GOAT?  Here are just a few who could all make the GOAT claim :  James E. Bowman - Linden's First 3-time All City Basketball Player, Former President of the Columbus Urban League, Cedric Brown - NFL Player Jim Cleamons - NBA Player and Coach, Buster Douglas - Boxing, World Heavyweight Champion, Hilmer Kenty - Boxing, World Lightweight Champion,J erry Page - Boxing, Olympic Gold Medalist, and William Thomas, Jr. - Actor. Buster Douglas was part of arguably the biggest upset boxing history knocking out The undefeated  (50 to 1 odds on favorite) Mike Tyson.   Coach Larry Henderson was a legend at Linden-McKinley for his years of dedication teaching, coaching, and mentoring students.  Irma Scott was a popular administrator that cared a lot about students at her tenure, and cared about her, "young ones."
