Wes Bialosuknia and his All Stars

[Old school]

Platt Panther from1966 to 1968

 

[Palatine]

Got Defensive back Pete Athis' autograph at that game. Have never thought of him since. Thanks for the reminder.

Do you remember who else from UConn was on the team, I think Wes might have been on it, but I am not sure.

Yep.

Hmm. Played for him briefly.

Hmm. Played for him briefly.

He was a terrific shooter. But I think he had some sort of leg injury early in his career and lost some of his effectiveness. He was a very good defender. He was about 6’3” or 4 and strong. He was a forward, not an unusual height for that position in that era. I don’t think he played baseball for UConn.

Pete Athas wow liked him back in the day not sure why. #45 I do believe played with Spider Lockhart right? I also went to a couple of those all star games.

Hrubala came later. He was a soph in 68-69.

Calhoun wasn’t AIC‘s center. Their center was nasty enough to be JC tough. He took some terrible abuse from UConn fans in the Field House.

Saw Wes/All Stars play vs Explorers in Simsbury .. Went off for about 50+..

ABA teammate/HOFer Rick Barry said Wes was the best shooter he had ever seen. Three point line in ABA back then.
