Mark,
Thanks so much for this great article. Brought back tremendous memories of years of great games and camaraderie.
Paul Brooks
Great article Mark! Even in the 70’s, pick up games with central Indiana High School stars at Meadowood Park in Speedway, Indiana were amazing. It was not uncommon to see several current and future Indiana High School All-Stars testing their skills on the asphalt courts. All for the love and fun of the game and learning how to play better basketball against the best in the area.
Great article full of nostalgia!
Great memories of the Lebanon Outdoor Basketball Tournament. Saw great talent their..Dave Robisch, the Shepherds, Tom Cutter, Joe Brunk, Derrick Johnson, Leon Manning,Steve Downing, Wayne Pack, Brian Walker, Mark Barnhizer, Jack Roudebush and my picks for two of the best to play the circuit at the time…Steve Platt and Dick Harris. Bird played in ’81. Loved watching Happy Burger, Lafayette Hustlers, Triangle Asphalt and Northwest Wrecker.
