Wow, Mel Werts, Hollingsworth, etc. Blast from the past. The stands were electric in those days. I sat behind the Chaminade bench when they beat Sampson. With the game on the line, Coach Lopes was simply yelling “Shoot the ball, shoot the ball!” in the critical time out.

I liked best the players who lurked in the shadows–Crosseti Speights, Antwoine Goodllow, even Willie Wright.

I was fortunate enough (and old enough) to have had the opportunity to watch the late Reggie Carter play in that game. And I got to do it sitting court side as we played an NBA talent ladened USF team twice that weekend. An amazing collection of future NBA players on the court that was played above the rim most of the night. USF had a Fab Five type collection of freshmen starters that featured 6’6 Winfred Boynes, 6’8 PF James Hardy, and the great Bill Cartwright a 7’0 Center. Hawaii featured the 6’3 fr. Reggie Carter at point, 5’11 soph. Henry Hollingsworth at shooting guard, 6’7 Fr. SF George Lett, 6’9 SR. PF Mel Werts, and 7’0 C Tommy Barker. An opposing coach was once quoted as saying playing Hawaii was like playing a NBA team. The Blaisdell was magical in those days.

I wonder if the official scorekeeper “shorted” Buggs on some assists. He had 7 at half and I swore he had more than 7 in the second half. I was thinking he would reach 15; assists or something like that.

Still….great game by Drew. If the guy can get his long range shooting going, he”s going to be unstoppable.

Thanks Brian. Great summary of the game. I’m overseas and don’t get to see the games, so this was a great read for me.
