For the Dual Threat Album
While several of us continued to buckle up and, with abandon, throw our bodies about on various gridirons across the countryside, our man Jim donned his shorts and scampered around the hard courts in the Batavia area tossing down copious barrages of buckets and maneuvering into top place on the scoring charts at this point in the 72-73 Industrial League season. Jimmy was a man for all seasons!
Toward the bottom of the list I find a teammate from the 1968 Frosh baseball team, Stan Sherwood, who played shortstop for us. I believe that Stan played basketball at Brockport, went on to play at the Varsity level in baseball, and to teach and become an AD in the Byron-Bergen district, if I'm not mistaken. Good athlete, good man.
Note: I was not one who went on and played more football after school. I was well aware that my skeletal parts were no longer up to the adventure. A series about those Gray Eagles who went on to play for the Lockport Travelers, Lackawanna Jets, Watertown Red and Black, Rochester Wolves, and other teams would be interesting.
