Trivia answer . . .
There were five readers who
got the Randy Grossman trivia question right. They were Ken Woodring,
Notre Dame Harvey, Tom Meakim, Bob Romeo, and Dan Solis-Cohen with Ken
Woodring being
the first to post. Worth noting, that several readers gave the incorrect answer
of Northeast High graduate Herb
Adderley.
Herb won three Super Bowls, but he did win three NFL championships
before the Super Bowl existed. If the question was: What area player
has won the most NFL championships?---the answer would be Adderley
because he won six with three NFL championships and three Super
Bowls, which are now the NFL championship game. Adderley is second
all-time only to Tom
Brady who
has won seven NFL
championship. In his case, all are Super Bowls.
Trivia question from Chuck Langerman
. . . Name the former southeastern Pennsylvania High school
football player who leads all former Philadelphia-area high school
football players with four Super Bowl rings for being on four Super
Bowl winners. (Hint: His cousin Burt was a pretty good football
player at Archbishop Carroll HS.) Send your answer to

In the 76 seasons from 1940 through 2015, how many times -- in any
playoff game -- did five players score
in double figures for the evenrual champion? The answer is seventeen and that hit me as kinda
low. One
reason: Playoff formsts differed widely. Another reason:
Teams did not fly up and down as often as they did
in the regular
season. The feat was accomplished five times in finals, zero imes in
semis, four times in
quarters and eight times in the round-of-16.
So. did six guys ever reach double figures. Yes, just once --
Southern vs. West Philly in the '87 final. And twice two subs were
part of the fivesomes. In that '82
Mastbaum-Franklin final, the
latter had four double-digit scorers. Franklin led in other points
scored
by subs, 6-4..

Loughran, Adam Sandler's long-time movie sidekick.
(And thanks to
Matt for publishing Jon's kind words.)
Pub Tedbit
The regular season has just ended and your top assistant pulls
yo aside with a worried look on hix face.
Somehow he doubts that the
team's best player will surpass his average even ONCE in the
upcoming playoffs.
Uh oh? Not really. The list below shows a scoring
breakdown for 41 Pub champs, 1975 through 2015. The
leading regular
season scorer topped his average only 44 percent of the time, but
every guy won a championship.
Kinda surprising, right? Two players
achieved perfection -- Bo Kimble in 1985 and Fatts Russell in '15.
Of those who whiffed, three advanced o the NBA -- Lionel Simmons,
Aaron McKie and Marcus Morris-- and Carlin Warley's
dad, Ben, played
in the show. Thankfully, they all had supportive teammates.

So, your high school is known for
having very good basketball teams and maybe once a decade somebody
advances to the NBA. Pretty exciting, right? But let's go back to
the late 1950s at Ovenrook. The 1957-58
Panthers/Hilltoppers won the
Public League and City championships and finished with a 22-0
record. The
starting lineup included THREE future NBA players,
center Wayne Hightower and guards Walt Hazzard
and soph Wali Jones.
Jones became a starter in the middle of the season when Howie
Horenstein
graduated. That's how it was back then. All Pub schools
had two senior classes. Hightower won the
Markward Club Award as the
city's top senior, but there were folks who strongly believed the
best
prospect on 'Brook was junior Ralph Heyward, who made first
team All-Public. In 59, Overbrook again
won double championships
and, like Hightower before him, Heyward was baned to the Parade
All-America
Team. He played three seasons of college ball, one
at Kansas in '61 and two at Seattle in '64 and '65. He
was limited
to nine games, with only nine in '64. He totaled 238 points and 150
rebounds. Below are pro
stats for Hightower, Hazzard and jones. One
more thing: In the late '50s Overbrook had a sub named
Leonard Borisoff. In time he became Len Barry and enjoyed a terrific singing
career with the Dovells
(Bristol Stomp) and as a solo artist
(1-2-3).

Time to reveal the longsest streaks by Public League schools with
first team All-Public honorees,
1941-2015. The cutoff was four years
and even wih that a surprising number of schools fell short of
making the list. Gratz is first at 13 and most of those years
Leonard Poole. not Bill Ellerbee, was the
coach. Bartarm and
Strawberry Mansion are tied for second at 11, Franklin Learning
Center
toughed out two streaks of eight. In its old days at 8th &
Lehigh, Northeast's streak featured
two future HOFers, Guy Rodgers
(basketball) and Herb Adderley (football).

You should have known this one: My first Public League Tedbit would be
focused on Wilt Chamberlain. Some of you might have learned through
the years that his three biggest outbursts were 90, 74 and 71 points
and that all three took place versus Roxborough. As you'll see
below, thanks to numbers nailed down long ago by Tom Taylor, Wilt
also posted 59 vs. Dobbins and hit every number from 49 on down to
24 except for 27. Pretty amazing. Overall, in three varsity seasons
(ninth grade was part of junior high back then), he scored 46.9
percent of the Hilltoppers' points.

If you checked the boxscores each day in the 1967-68 basketball
season, you had to figure O'Hara's Joe Hazinsky was miserable. He'd
averaged 21.9 points in the previous campaign while earning first
team All-Catholic honors, but now his numbers were falling and darn
near plummeting. What was the deal? Fighting an injury and/or
sickness? Saddled with some knuckleheaded teammates? Nope, the team
was better, much better, and Hazinsky did not have to pump away. His
final average was 13.6 and he again made first team All-Catholic.
Oh, and there was this: O'Hara won the CL championship in just its
fourth season of participation! Future NBA player Tom Ingelsby, a
junior. was one of the starters. The list below shows average dips
of at least three points for CL first-teamers from junior to senior
season. Hazinsky played college ball at St. Francis (PA) and owns a
spot in the school’s Athletics HOF. Congrats!
