professionally with the Minnesota Twins and California Angels in the

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.

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..

(And thanks to
Matt for publishing Jon's kind words.)

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!

Oh, what happened to the good, ol' days, especially with regard to
the McDonald's All-Ameriacn Game? No game was played in 1977, but an
all-star team was selected and West Philly's Gene Banks was on it.
The game made its debut in '78 and was played at Philly's old
Spectrum and two "Our Guys" were participants -- West Philly's
Clarence "Eggy" Tillman and Roman's Reggie Jackson. The good vibes
continued through Five of the next eight tussles and then . . . ugh.
"Our Guys" have appeared in just five more games and just one has
done so since 2009. Here are performance breakdowns.
1978 -- Reggie Jackson, Roman Catholic, and Clarence "Eggy"
Tillman, West Philadelphia. Jackson shot 4-for-14 for nine points
and had five assists. Tillman shot 3-for-9 for seven points and had
three rebounds.
1979 -- Horace "Pappy" Owens, Murrell Dobbins Tech. Owens shot
9-for-17 for 18 points and had three assists.
1980 -- Lonnie McFarlan, Roman Catholic. McFarlan shot 6-for-13
for 13 points.
1983 -- Dallas Comegys, Roman Catholic. Comegys had six points,
16 rebounds and six blocks.
1985 -- Jerome "Pooh" Richardson, Ben Franklin, and Mark
Stevenson, Roman Catholic. Richardson shot 4-for-9 for 10 points and
had six assists. Stevenson shot 7-for-16 for 16 points.
1986 -- Barry Bekkedam, Archbishop Carroll. Bekkedam was held
scoreless in 8-plus minutes, shooting 0-for-3 from the floor and
0-for-4 at the line. (He contracted mono after scoring 37, 38 and 41
points in the final three regular season games. He missed the
playoffs and lost 15 pounds.)
1993 -- Rasheed Wallace, Simon Gratz. Wallace shot 4-for-7 for
nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
2000 -- Eddie Griffin, Roman Catholic. Griffin shot 7-for-16 for
19 points (two treys) while adding four rebounds and two blocks.
2006 -- Gerald Henderson and Wayne Ellington, both of Episcopal.
Henderson shot 6-for-10 (one trey) and 3-for-4 for 16 points.
Ellington shot 3-for-10 total and 2-for-8 on treys for eight points.
2009 -- Maalik Wayns, Roman Catholic. Shot 2-for-6 and 1-for-1
for five points. Also notched seven assists to just one turnover.
(He underwent right-knee meniscus surgery and missed nine
late-season games before returning for the finale, a first-round,
state-playoff loss. This game was played 3 1/2 weeks later.)
2017 -- Quade Green, Neumann-Goretti. Played 16 minutes off the
bench, shooting 4-for-12 (one trey) en route to nine points. Also
dished seven assists, but was guilty of the same number of
turnovers.
(Due to COVID, games were not played in 2020 and 2021.)

Back in the day, as oldheads like to say, Carroll's Barry Bekkedam
finished his season with quite the bang. In the 1985-86 season, he
broke the school record for points in three consecutive games with
37, 38 and 41 -- all in the CL Southern Division -- and finalized
his league average at 23.6 (14-330). The Patriots finished 10-4 for
second place and lost to O'Hara, 54-49, in the first round of the
playoffs. How'd Barry do? Can't score if you can't play. The
Canadian import was unavailable due to the flu, a strep throat and a
touch of mono. Alas, touch became full-blown and by the time Barry
suited up for the McDonald's All-American Gane, he was a shell of
his former self, having lost 15 pounds. In eight-plus minutes, he
failed to score while shooting 0-for-3 from the floor and 0-for-4 at
the line. So rough. And things were difficult at Villanova also. In
three injury-riddled seasons he totaled 142 points and 116 rebounds,
then declined to play as a senior by "mutual agreement." In CL
history, just five players have scored at least 35 points in as many
as three league games. West's Michael Brooks (RIP) averaged 39.3 PPG
over those three performances in 1976. Averages for the others:
Bekkedam (38.7), West's Monroe Blakes (38.3 over four in ‘88).
Roman's Eddie Griffin (38.0 in ‘99) and St. Thomas More's Billy Hoy
(36.6 in ‘59). Barry was the only one to notch his outbursts in
succession to finish league play. Eddie (RIP) did all of his damage
as a junior. He and Michael played in the NBA.

In a league with only six teams, the size of the Inter-Ac since
1969, it's not THAT hard for a school to produce first team honorees
year after year after . . . Malvern did so for 21 through 1969 and
Germantown Academy slapped together a 14-year streak from 2004
through '17. But check out Penn Charter's 16-year accomplishment. It
goes waaaay back from '41 through '56 and the Quakers won 11
championships (two shared). Pretty cool.

Wonder how many schools across the country can make one specific
claim? Well, we know one can do so and it's right here in Philly.
For 50 consecutive -- yes, FIFTY! -- seasons, at least one Roman
player has earned first team Coaches' All-Catholic honors. Jim
"Chico" Singleton and Donald Kelly started the dominance in 1973 by
grabbing two of the five spots on the Southern Division first team.
Chico and Frank Sykes had been second teamers in ’72, Nos. 6 and 7
respectively. Divisions -- North/South, then Red/Blue -- existed
through 2010 and the schools have competed in one overall group ever
since. Speaking of 2011, the streak almost ended then. Roman came
close to whiffing on the 10-player first team. Coming in ninth was
frontcourter Fortunat "Junior" Kangudi, an import from Montreal. His
11.0 scoring average has been the second lowest of any first team
Cahillite during the streak; Tony Carr averaged 10.9 in 2015. As
you'll see on the list below, Neumann-Goretti also owns a long
streak at 27 seasons. A couple more nuggets: Roman’s feat has
involved 50 players – yes, FIFTY again! – and they’ve combined for
76 honors. In 1.027 games, they’ve racked up 18,058 points for a
17.6 average.

The Inter-Ac League got started one year late with the
three-point shot, as opposed to the Catholic League anyway, and it took a
while for the effect to be felt. The lists below show the I-A's Top
10 season scorers through 1987 and from '88 on up. Only four guys
from the '90s are on Part Two and two are from the final two
seasons. The ten Before Guys scored 2,373 points in 96 games for a
24.7 average. The After Guys racked up 2,435 points in 99 games for
24.6. Almost a dead heat.

The 2021-22season was No. 36 for the three-point shot in Catholic
League basketball. So, how big of an impact has it had? The lists
below show the Top 10 averages in CL play before and after The Big
Change. The top spots on each side belong to West Catholic guys.
Future NBAer Michael Brooks (RIP) owns the before mark at 27.3 in
1976. Monroe Blakes beat him by two-10ths of a point in 1988 (27.5).
The Top 10 Before Guys scored 3,470 points in 139 games for a 25.0
average. The After Guys' numbers -- 134-3,407-25.4 . Not a
monumental difference.

Another day, another
screwup. My apologies to the people at Penn. The Quakers have
produced four NBA coaches and the details are below. Thanks to Ted
Rauch for mentioning Dick Harter. A correct version of how to search
led to the others.
Before the research for this nugget commenced, I kinda knew which
college would emerge victorious. The level of dominance? Surprising.
The Big 5 was formed for the 1955-56 season, but the schools go back
much further. Maybe at some point you've wondered, How many products
of Big 5 schools have coached in the NBA? The answer is 10 and seven
have called Saint Joseph's home. Penn is last at zero while La
Salle, Temple and Villanova are tied for second at one. The
breakdown for records is below, and a big thanks goes to basketball-reference.com.
Temple's Eddie Gottlieb guided the Philadelphia Warriors to the
NBA's first championship in 1947 (though, at the time, the league
was known as the Basketball Association of America). the Warriors
seized their second crown in 1956 and that team's coach was ex-Hawk
George Senesky. More titles? Wait, two more, thanks to Hawk Hill
guys! Jack Ramsay took the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1977 summit
and Paul Westhead did likewise with the 1980 Los Angeles Lakers.
Alas, both teams beat the Sixers in the finals. That 1980 season
began wih Jack McKinney -- like Ramsay, he also coached high school
ball at the ol' St. James, in Chester -- running the Lakers.
However, he suffered serious injuries in a bicycle accident and
Westhead replaced him 13 games in. Last night, I texted long-time
friend and former Daily News sports editor Pat McLoone to see if he
could guess St. Joe's number of NBA coaches. Bang, he got it. "I was
going to go with six, but I went with one over." Niiiiiiiice.
