Not sure how old you are but I was a JV player for Indian Creek in 1985 when the Hieneman brothers eliminated us, easily, from Semi-State at Hinkel. Way too much for our attempt at channeling the ghost on of 54 Milan.
So are you the one who wrote KAT 123 all over Marion?
Yes they did. Connersville was both physical and skilled and they put two big ten recruits on the floor at once. Alford was fantastic but it just wasn't enough.
My brother graduated in 1967 and went to (shudder) iu. I am married to an iu School of Nursing graduate - we both got master's degrees from Univ of Mich and she her Ph.D. from Univ of Texas. All the members of our families, except for offspring (obviously, we all moved out of state ASAP), went to Big Ten schools. Living in California means I miss pork tenderloin sandwiches which is probably good for the waistline. Ask your mom if she remembers Kunkel's Drive In.
Help me here...trying to recall a player that was QB and played bball in the late 70s' early 80s...Rob H?
Wait a minute...blond hair? Forward...played bball with a guard that escapes me? I'm friends with Conde and Kenny Vint....
Yes blonde and a forward but only played BB in middle school, no hops and too slow. Are you referring to Conde Echelbarger? I don't know a Conde Vint and Kenny sounds familiar, but my memory of middle/high has gotten muddled over the years.
A little before my time but my brother graduated in '81. Could you be thinking of Rob Louks?
yes Conde Echelbarger and Kenny Vint who had a son that was a senior at Purdue this year that was killed in an auto accident in November? ???? home during break. I thought there was a Sumner or Summer that played a year or so before?
Absolutely, Rob is out in California somewhere doing really well in the computer field. I think he may have had a son that got drafted into the NFL the last couple of years. Played bball with Rob once...really enjoyed it. Bud had a lot of good football teams back then...but basketball was always a step behind
Too bad about Kenny's son. Conde was like 2/3 years behind me and I think there was a Sumner family in the area, possibly Kurt/Kirk. I still have 2 sisters and a brother in the Greentown area (I'm the youngest) and my father is in Converse.
Ray Ashcraft was maybe a year or so behind you I'm guessing. He is an engineer that works on vision systems.
Ray is actually 3 or 4 years older than me. I think he was in one of my sisters class. I remember him playing BB/FB for EHS and he was a ripped farm boy. He's still pretty active from what I've seen on FB.
Ray is in good shape. I dated a cheerleader for a short while that might have been in your sisters class...can't believe I can't think of her name. Lived north of Plevna and had a couple of sisters.
