Jimmy Vereen and his stepfather, Harvey Scruggs, were enjoying the afternoon at Kids Planet in Century Park Tuesday. Vereen was watching his son, Jaylen, 4, play while discussing this weekend’s NCAA Final Four men’s and women’s basketball tournament. Vereen is a graduate of North Greenville College where he played linebacker.
Vereen is a distant relative of actor, dancer and singer Ben Vereen. “We had a family reunion at Atlantic Beach when I was 12-13 years old and he was there,” said Jimmy. “He was very nice and funny.”
