Got a ring with the Celtics.

Interesting. He always pops up on these lists, didnt know about the middle name.

On another front, i wonder if he is starting to move up the SJU ranks in steals or blocks. Gotta be on the radar

He is within reach of 3rd all time steals (Mullin at 213) and 4th all time blocks (Mullin's buddy at 152). He's at 175 in steals and 124 in blocks.

At the risk of being told to Google it B) , who is Mullin's buddy?

Bill Wennington, would be my guess. He was a 7-footer, and played the same 4 years as Chris.

2 guys ahead of Mullin in steals? I'd say Mark Jackson was one, but don't know the other. I'm guessing Sealy?

2 of the top 3 in blocks for us are Obekpa and Werdann, but I can't think of the third player.

Yes, Wennington = Mullin's buddy. Werdan and McKoy are 2 and 3 in blocks - I'm using the 2011 media guide - assume CO is at the top of the list by now. Buchanan and Sealy (out of reach with 238) are 2 and 3 in steals. A few guys would be higher on these lists had they played four years and I doubt they tracked some of these stats prior to the 80's. Still, Sir Dom is making his mark in these two key defensive categories.

I'm not sure what year they began recording blocked shots, but that front line of Searcy, Rellford, and Beaver Smith blocked a heck of a lot of shots. George Johnson got his share also.

Wow! Ed Searcy! He and I went to grammar school together, Our Lady Queen of Angels in East Harlem. Along with Japeth Trimble, we were good friends in school and our moms were also good friends. He went to Power Memorial and I went to Hayes and we lost contact with each other and never re-established contact again. You've made me want to now reach out to see if I can locate him on Social Media. My, how time flies.

The older guys can verify but I believe Searcy started at Duquesne and came home to SJU. As Fun dutifully noted, he was in a frontcourt with Beaver Smith (I hope I'm not wrong again). He could absolutely soar, and I thought he's one of our all-time excellent players. I believe he was on a taxi squad of sorts with the Celts and played a handful of game. Jap Trimble! Went to MAryland - had to check - good college player, no?

Paultz, great article. Thanks! Jap Trimble was a good player for Maryland. He and Searcy together at Power Memorial were a formidable front court.

Len Elmore also.

What a damned shame for NYC CHSAA basketball, and NYC basketball in general, that Power closed.

True! But I didn't know Len personally, so he doesn't count. LOL! :cheer:

That's still the best HS team I ever saw.
2 white guys in the backcourt.
Brunner, I think was one.
Don't really remember either name.

One season I went to a ton of Molloy games - Gooch, Richie Hill, Clarke, Rigsby, John Lowenhopf (sp?) (who went to William and Mary). They moved the ball like Princeton and shot the eyes out of the basket. Prob not an all time great team, but one of them.

Also the Schaeffer, Stacom, Groome Holy Cross team of 1970 or so was very good.

Paultz-thanks for digging up that newspaper article on Searcy signing withe Duquesne. On the same page was part of an article on Willis Reed leading the Knicks to a playoff win over the Bullets with 36 pts and 36 rebs. Remember that game well as I wanted to follow it but my father dragged me off to the movies (being only 14 I had no choice) that night so I brought my transistor radio and listened to it at the movies. I still listen to transistor radios, think I may be last of a dying breed and the only reason anyone still makes them anymore.

Id bet Dom has a good number of family/friends attend today's game. Hopefully he controls that excitement and generates positive energy for the team. He has been getting into too much foul trouble recently, which is not entirely his fault since he is playing out of his natural position defensively for his height. However, they need him on the floor today for 30 minutes. He cant let the presence of his supporters impact his play.

And certainly cant endure another situation like ND game from a few years back where he got ejected. He has made meaningful strides wince then tho
