When Mike Tobey learned late last evening that he’d been awarded a spot on the USA U19 World Championship Team, he immediately called his father, Ken Tobey. After informing his dad that he’d made the team, the two joked about Prague, Czech Republic, the host site of the 2013 FIBA U19 World Championship. The humor ensued because interestingly, the rising University of Virginia sophomore’s ancestors come from there. “I’m going to be the first Tobey in a while to go back,” the 6’11”, 227-pounder said. |
