This is Bruce Baxter, class of 1965. Bruce also doubles as my father-in-law and trust me, his daughter has better legs than he did / does.
Bruce was kind enough to bring a few old pics of his playing days over for me to scan. There were several great pictures and some articles detailing some big wins during that era.
Bruce now has visual evidence that he could once get off his feet pretty well (I was arguing that it was just the camera angle, but to no avail). He also has visual evidence that he wanted to block that shot so bad, he bit on the head fake, big time.
Bruce lives in Powell where he and his son, Scott ('87), own a Financial Services business. Bruce has three grandchildren....and one on the way.
** Don Blackstone is #44 in the background realizing that he's going to have to try to block the shooter's second attempt.

Nice picture. I think we wore those same socks in 1969-70 (It was Jack Savage's idea ?). I think I remember this "fake out" on Bruce. As their socks indicate, it's against Urbana. Did we EVER beat them ? What was the name of all those brothers ? I hated playing there on their stage.
