[QUOTE="chiefini, post: 2075893, member: 11271"] I was a freshman at York when my Dukes beat Harlem on a last second shot (where I almost fell off the top row at the end of the bleachers as we celebrated) to go Downstate in 1967. Chris Schweer (sp?) our 6’7” center (who died suddenly while at Vanderbilt) was our center. My first time in the Assembly Hall, I sat in the last row as I watched the Pekin Chinks (who went on to win the State Championship) blow us out. I had already made the trek on a school bus earlier that year in the fall for my first of four trips, with two 3rds, one 2nd, and a First place in 1968-to watch my Dukes race in the State Cross Country Championships. In 1966, we had eight student buses go, including a band bus. “Newton is the greatest” and “Follow the long green line.” Ahhhhh, some of the best memories of my life… [/QUOTE]
