Who would be on the Peoria list?

Who would be on the Peoria list?

An ex Kansas St player, Jerry Janovetz, stands out in my mind.

Who would be on the Peoria list?

Great question BNC. Livingston would certainly stand out. Here's an article that lists some of the Manual greats -- http://espn.go.com/high-school/boys-...-school-hoops/

We've had some great one play in Peoria. The best combo I ever personally witnessed was Holcomb and Smith at Richwoods in the mid-70's... I still think Mark Smith was the best high school player I ever saw play in Peoria.

I agree, Smith, Holcomb, Altenberger - then a few others from 60's thru 80's...Manual's Al Smith, Alvin O'Neal, Mike Hughes, Tony Wysinger, AJ Guyton, Chris Reynolds ...

I'll add Lynn Collins and Kenny Drummond. I believe both attended the Frank Williams School Of Inconsistent Effort, but both were sure a treat to watch when they were on.
