[OLDHAT]

George, I never doubted you, but I know who did. I'll keep my eye out "for the book"...it's the least I can do for bringing up the whole "waterloo wonders" topic.

What's the book about?

TF

[george tinkham]

about the best bunch of basketball players that ever stood on the court...1930's...in high school they beat college teams.they were the fabulous waterloo wonders from lawerence county.should be a movie,they played globetrotter style basketball,even scorin for the other team...

[Thunderflight]

1930's.................

Geezzzzzeeeee...............

Your old..............:cool: :cool: :cool:

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

yup ,old hat who was that feller,that doubted the book existed...

[george tinkham]

here is another bout the fabulous waterloo wonders.after they graduated 4 0f the original 5 went semi pro,then pro.they formed their own team.they even beat the new york celtics who were at time the champions.the 5th member who did not enroll with the team went to college at ohio state...this member was replaced by a ohio state graduate an basketball star by the name of BILL HOSKETT.

[Thunderflight]

I wish I knew how to read...........

TF

[george tinkham]

they won the state championship 2 times.the 2nd yr. they won it they had played a 66 game schedule that included many large schools from around the state like columbus an a couple colleges

[Thunderflight]

Do they have it on video? :D

Thunderflight

[george tinkham]

no,i don't know if a movie was ever made but it would be a good one...they were majicians with a ball...when they played they acted as if the ball was a hot potato

[Thunderflight]

What if your not a basket ball fan?

TF

[george tinkham]

do you like the globetrotters thflt,they played like them but in real games

[Thunderflight]

Yeah, the globe trotters are cool.

Other than that I'm not a basketball, baseball, golf, NASCAR, rodeo, figure skating or foot ball fan. I do like to go base ball and foot ball games, but I just can't handle watching them on TV.

If only they had professional hunting and fishing teams......:)

George,

I think I saw that book at a book store here in Toledo last week. I will go see if it's still there. If it is, do you really want it????
