Jim Hewitt and John (Beepsie) Welch (both from Huguenot High School). Beepsie became an army colonel who was many times decorated for his service in Nam.. He passed away a couple of months before this season began, but he should be remembered. He rarely if ever missed a home game. True Spider.

Shaky Jake, and the C-Man, Carleton Mack. Our first black player, I believe. What a backcourt, with BT, Barry Taylor, off the bench, and Dave Wiliams fouling everyone in sight while jumping on the floor after a loose ball, and Eric Sly" Gray flashing gang signs.
I always thought we couldn't do worse than Lew Mills. Then we got Carl Sloane, who proved me wrong.
Hate to say it to you PF fans but he will never be a player for us. Mooney may be a bad coach but he knows A10 talent once he gets it.
To be honest. I expected him to be about the same as freshman/sophomore Jim Shields at Paul's best. But he didn't look that bad the few times he was in this year. And an ACL injury can take a while even when it doesn't seem like it. So I am not completely giving up until early December.
