I had the opportunity to see Jimmy Walker, Dexter Westbrook and Mike Riordon play Brown at Marvel Gymnasium. I witnessed things in one game that you would not see in a full season of games . I have a recollection of Westbrook grabbing a rebound high off the backboard that still amazes me…of course the passing of time and the aging of a young boy may have something to do with it. Great article Craig. I look forward to reading more in your series. Thank you.

Thanks! I always wonder what the team could have done if Westbrook was able to play his junior Z and senior seasons. That team was ahead of it's time.

Yes it was, often overlooked and very much under appreciated was Jim Benedict. He was the teams second leading scorer in Walkers SO and JR season and had a smooth jump shot. A very reliable player.
