But there is one big difference from the years in Blazer basketball’s immediate past, the years since VSC joined the rough and tumble Gulf South Conference. This year Valdosta State has been picked by league coaches to finish second in the conference race behind Troy State, by far the highest pre season ranking the Blazers have enjoyed. In the four years of GSC play Valdosta State has had only moderate successes, finishing fourth twice and playing for the conference tournament championship once.

It presents a great challenge to the coaches and players. It will take tremendous commitment on all our parts, which is what I expect.

He was an outstanding prep player at Vienna High School where was team captain his senior season in 1962, averaging 28 points a game and earning a scholarship to Nor man Park Junior College.
