Oh, it's possible. But 1991 is post-dream season. The guy I'm thinking of was pre. Was there another Tony (with a y)? I'm gonna have to give in and do some research.1991 is pretty close to the 80s... sure your memory isn't a bit off.
URI played that Spanarkle-Gminski-Banks that went to the Finals in the 1st round. Lost by only a point. As long I'm testing my memory, iirc Nelson had a shot for the win late.
Fluff was dope! I played (sat on the bench) against him in high school. He always had a smooth game. I feel like I remember him getting some time/sitting the bench for varsity his freshman year.
James Cobb played football and graduated from Dartmouth with a History degree and was a long time teacher in Greenwich.
Billy Rado, my middle/high school gym teacher. Still holds some records at Georgia last I knew. At the end of middle school gym class, he would play 10 players, 10 on one full court. If he lost, he would buy the entire gym class McDonald’s. I never once tasted those french fries.
Guard that went to UCLA?
Rocket Rod Foster
Sorry, I see it posted.
Herm didn't do Ernie any favors not getting any academic help for him and let him get away with so many not so good thingfs off the court.
Didn’t he die in a car crash very young
Sly Williams (Lee High, New Haven)
Yes, the Groton section of Mystic.
Great additions. Pretty sure Pinone was South Catholic
Nash was part of the great HPHS team of Middle 60's, that played in the infamous "slippery floor" CIAC tournament game in Willimantic against Norwich Free Academy. Public was defeated by Wilbur Cross in the finals that year.
Not sure about that. I do think it was Northwest, but no matter. Few more that I forgot was Tom Roy (South Windsor), Dave Hicks Wilbur Cross early 60's, Greg Keith (NFA), and one that "initially" got away, but did end up @ UC., Chuck Alexsinas, WAMOGO, to Kentucky, but eventually to UC.
Billy Evans, Hillhouse, played with Kvancz at BC coached by Cousy, played one year in the ABA with the Nets.
Barry McLeod, Bridgeport Central, played at Centenary with Robert Parish, 7th round draft pick.
Keith Closs never played at The Pub, he moved out of Hartford and the state in elementary school.
Pinole definitely played at South Catholic.
