Body:	<i>We did lose 80-76 to Tucson High. They had 3 all-staters ( Kenny Ball, David Price, and Hoagie Simmons ( the latter 2 were the only black guards we had faced all year and they were FAST ) But it was Chucko Miranda ( a 6ft-10in center who was a special ed. student who wore coke-bottle thick glasses, and if you had taken his brain and put it in a bird, the bird would have flown backwards ) who had the game of his life. We would have won, had there been a 3 point line. After the game, during the compulsary handshaking, that David Price and Tucson's coach told me that they had never faced a team that could shoot the outside shot like our Buffs. Tom Bunger ( class of 1970 ) has the game in its entireity on VCR. We should have won. I'll never foreget the crowd and the support of all of Tempe. The floor of the Collesium, I remember was real kind of ' bouncy '. The Suns played there, and I remember asking Coach Duane if I could dunk during warm-ups. He said no- that it would be a technical foul, since dunking was outlawed back then, except in the NBA. We finished 23 and 3. It was a proud moment for all of us.By the way, Paul DiGrande blew his knee in 1967, not his ankle. He was the best assist guard that I had ever seen in high school. And seeing Paulette, both Cindys, Vicki, Dianne and all the girls on the court was certainly motivating. I hope that tis clears up any questions about that game ! By the way, I nailed 19 points ( would have been 25 with the 3 pt shot ), but who's counting ? LOL</i> *
