Message: [QUOTE="SCHH Fan, post: 4858937, member: 11443"] Generally just enjoy reading comments but had to jump in here. Being a Vernon/Rockville native my first game was 1960. Have memories of Jack Rose, Johnnie P. , Dale Comey. As. Billie Greer at my middle and was a thrill whenever she would have her husband Hugh Greer come coach one of our games. So sad that we lost him so young. Went on to attend UConn, class of 69. In those days had three teams, freshmen,JV, and varsity. In those days had a guy named Wes Balusuknia (sp) playing in the old field house. I imagine you ballers remember him. He could shoot. Can’t remember if he overlapped with Toby Kimball, probably one of the fiercest rebounders I’ve ever seen. Remained a season ticket holder for the men until I retired in 2004. With the opening of Gampel in 1990 ( still have the program from that night) became a women’s fan also. Loved it when the women’s big east tournament was held at gampel. Bball morning to night. Even waited for the leaking roof to be fixed one night, stopped the tournament mid game. May be in South Carolina but we still never miss a game on TV. What memories, what a ride, at it still continues. Life is good being a Husky. [/QUOTE]
